PHPUnit is the de-facto standard for unit testing in PHP projects. It provides both a framework that makes the writing of tests easy as well as the functionality to easily run the tests and analyse their results.
- PHPUnit 3.6 requires PHP 5.2.7 (or later) but PHP 5.3.9 (or later) is highly recommended.
- PHP_CodeCoverage, the library that is used by PHPUnit to collect and process code coverage information, depends on Xdebug 2.0.5 (or later) but Xdebug 2.1.3 (or later) is highly recommended.
