Testing_DocTest is now an offcial PEAR package, please report bugs to the PEAR bug tracker.
Introduction
Testing_DocTest allows the developer to write unit tests directly in the <code></code> blocs of your PHP functions, classes and class methods.
It comes with a default runner that will parse all your <code></code> blocs and will run the extracted tests, running tests is as simple as:
$ phpdt /path/to/your/code
There are several advantages in using Testing_DocTest:
- it makes unit tests writing funnier, easier and quicker (there's no infrastructure to setup, you just install the package, write your code examples tests and you're done !);
- it ensures that docstrings are up-to-date by verifying that all examples work as documented;
- it enforces writing of tutorial documentation, liberally illustrated with input-output examples.
Installation
Just run:
$ pear install -f Testing_DocTest
And to uninstall:
$ pear uninstall Testing_DocTest
