ZF is _unit_ tested with PHPUnit (version _3_, for the record; PHPUnit did not halt development with PHPUnit2 (-;). As noted in a previous response, I've created test cases and constraints for use in _functional testing_ of your applications. Otherwise, testing is left up to the developer. We are fully aware that there are different unit testing frameworks, and that each offers their own advantages; my hope is that the work I've done on the controller test cases and constraints will serve as a blueprint for others to develop similar functionality for other testing frameworks (such as SimpleTest, phpt, etc.). > On 6/9/08 10:00 AM, "Federico Cargnelutti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > By reading the manual, it doesn't look like ZF is encouraging users to do > unit testing.
