You must read and accept that -licence to use this software. The file is titled simply LICENSE. - -What is it? It's a framework for unit testing, web site testing and -mock objects for PHP 4.2.0+. - -If you have used JUnit you will find this PHP unit testing version very -similar. Also included is a mock objects and server stubs generator. -The stubs can have return values set for different arguments, can have -sequences set also by arguments and can return items by reference. -The mocks inherit all of this functionality and can also have -expectations set, again in sequences and for different arguments. - -A web tester similar in concept to JWebUnit is also included. There is no -JavaScript or tables support, but forms, authentication, cookies and -frames are handled. - -You are not tied to just using SimpleTest, though. The mocks and stubs -will work with other test frameworks and SimpleTest can use other -framework's (PHPUnit, PEAR::PhpUnit) test cases as it's own. The -web browser part of the web tester can also be used independently either -in other testers or as part of a scripting solution. - -You can see a release schedule at http://www.lastcraft.com/overview.php -which is also copied to the documentation folder with this release. -A full PHPDocumenter API documentation exists at -http://simpletest.sourceforge.net/. - -The user interface is minimal -in the extreme, but a lot of information flows from the test suite. -After version 1.0 we will release a better web UI, but we are leaving XUL -and GTk versions to volunteers as everybody has their own opinion -on a good GUI, and we don't want to discourage development by shipping -one with the toolkit. - -You are looking at a first full release. The unit tests for SimpleTest -itself can be run here... - -simpletest/test/unit_tests.php - -And tests involving live network connections as well are here... - -simpletest/test/all_tests.php - -The full tests will typically overrun the 8Mb limit usually allowed -to a PHP process. A workaround is to run the tests on the command -with a custom php.ini file if you do not have access to your server -version. - -You will have to edit the all_tests.php file if you are accesssing -the internet through a proxy server. See the comments in all_tests.php -for instructions. - -The full tests read some test data from the LastCraft site. If the site -is down or has been modified for a later version then you will get -spurious errors. A unit_tests.php failure on the other hand would be -very serious. As far as we know we haven't yet managed to check in any -test failures so please correct us if you find one. - -Even if all of the tests run please verify that your existing test suites -also function as expected. If they don't see the file... - -HELP_MY_TESTS_DONT_WORK_ANYMORE - -This contains information on interface changes. It also points out -deprecated interfaces so you should read this even if all of -your current tests appear to run. - -There is a documentation folder which contains the core reference information -in English and French, although this information is fairly basic. -You can find a tutorial on http://www.lastcraft.com/first_test_tutorial.php -to get you started and this material will eventually become included -with the project documentation. A French translation exists at -http://www.onpk.net/index.php/2005/01/12/254-tutoriel-simpletest-decouvrir-les-tests-unitaires. - -If you download and use and possibly even extend this tool, please let us -know. Any feedback, even bad, is always welcome and we will work to get -your suggestions into the version one release. Ideally please send your -comments to... - -simpletest-support@lists.sourceforge.net - -...so that others can read them too. We usually try to respond within 48 -hours. - -There is no change log as yet except at Sourceforge. You can visit the -release notes to see the completed TODO list after each cycle and also the -status of any bugs, but if the bug is recent then it will be fixed in CVS only. -The CVS check-ins always have all the tests passing and so CVS snapshots should -be pretty usable, although the code may not look so good internally. - -Oh, yes. It is called "Simple" because it should be simple to -use. We intend to add a complete set of tools for a test first -and "test as you code" type of development. "Simple" does not -mean "Lite" in this context. - -Thanks to everyone who has sent comments and offered suggestions. They -really are invaluable, but sadly you are too many to mention in full. -Thanks to all on the advanced PHP forum on SitePoint, especially Harry -Feucks. Early adopters are always an inspiration. - -yours Marcus Baker, Jason Sweat and Perrick Penet. --- -marcus@lastcraft.com -- cgit v1.2.3
