I will present a session titled "Testing PHP Applications with PHPUnit 3" at this year's
Zend/PHP Conference. The conference will be held in
San Jose, CA, the heart of
Silicon Valley, from October 30 to November 2, 2006.
I am planning this presentation to be different from the ones I did in the past on the topic of
PHPUnit. I want to use "real world" examples from the test suites of both the
eZ components and the
Zend Framework.

A long-standing feature request for
PHPUnit has been the generation of a real
diff between strings that span multiple lines.
Ideally this would be done by implementing the diff algorithm in
PHP. But since
Derick needed a working solution quickly, the two of us came up with a "hack": we just use
GNU diff and invoke the
diff command via
shell_exec().
Let us look at an example:
<?php
class TextComparisonTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
public function testTextComparison() {
$expected = "<html>
<head>
<title>Foo</title>
</head>
<body>
Foo
</body>
</html>
";
$actual = "<html>
<head>
<title>Foo</title>
</head>
<body>
Bar
</body>
</html>
";
$this->assertEquals($expected, $actual);
}
}
?>
The above test will give the following result:
PHPUnit 3.0.0 by Sebastian Bergmann.
F
Time: 00:00
There was 1 failure:
1) testTextComparison(TextComparisonTest)
failed asserting that <text> is equal to <text>
--- Expected
+++ Actual
@@ -3,6 +3,6 @@
<title>Foo</title>
</head>
<body>
- Foo
+ Bar
</body>
</html>
/home/sb/TextComparisonTest.php:24
FAILURES!
Tests: 1, Failures: 1.
I would appreciate it if someone would provide with me a PHP implementation of the diff algorithm that I can use for this. I know that there is a package called
Text_Diff in
PEAR, but that is more than I need.

A/R/T, the
php|architect Article Repository, has published an article of mine titled
Introduction to PHPUnit today.
This article is the first in a series of
PHPUnit articles for A/R/T. These articles will provide more tutorial-like material in addition to the
PHPUnit Pocket Guide, which is the official manual for PHPUnit and is more of a reference in nature.

IBM DeveloperWorks has an
article titled "Check your PHP code at every level with unit tests" that suggests
unit tests for PHP code at the module, database, and user-interface levels and proposes
PHPUnit as the tool for this job.
It is nice to see that
IBM not only uses my software, but also advocates it.

Masahiro Takagi has
contributed a
translation of the
PHPUnit Pocket Guide, which is the official documentation for
PHPUnit.
Thank you, Masahiro!
