Michelangelo van Dam’s Blog: Unit testing with Zend Framework 1.8+

Michelangelo van Dam gave recently a presentation about testing Zend Framework applications. His presentation triggered discussion and lots of questions about setting up testing environment for Zend Framework. Because of that he decided to post tutorial about creating the environment, writing simple test, running it and generating some metrics.

We start off by setting our environment best fitted for our unit testing. I use a virtual linux system for this, using VMWare, but with some extra background research these global settings can be applied for your own (test) environment as well.

This is well written introductory tutorial about testing action controllers. It lets you start testing action controllers in 5 minutes.
