That's great news!

Alright, that's quite a challenge, although surely needed.

No, that's even better than what I had in mind. I was thinking of real unit
tests, on a much smaller scale. Those tests should only test one function
and check for the results.
While this is not comparable to the thing you mentioned above, it would be
useful, too. We could check for proper error handling and things like that.
Example:
function add_hello($string)
{
return $string."hello";
}
A test for this function could look like this:
test_add_hello()
{
assertEqual("hi hello", add_hello("hi "));
}

For sure. :-)
