In <a href="http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2009/Testing-PHP">this new post</a> to her blog <i>Lorna Mitchell</i> talks a bit about the <a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2299548/">upcoming TestFest event</a> happening in Manchester next weekend and what she's learned about testing PHP to make things flow a bit smoother for her while there (and you, should you want to write tests in the future).

<blockquote>
In preparation I decided it was high time to sit down and figure out what testing PHP is all about. People kept telling me it was easy but I had no clear picture of how all the pieces went together - there are different ways of doing the same thing and although I have been keen to get involved with testing for some time, I haven't been able to get started until now.

She looks at the automated tests as a part of the build ("make test") and some of the <a href="http://www.lornajane.net/uploads/tech/lcov.png">screens</a> from the <a href="http://www.lornajane.net/uploads/tech/lcov2.serendipityThumb.png">lcov</a> <a href="http://www.lornajane.net/uploads/tech/lcov3.png">testing</a> results. She also recommends reading up on <a href="http://qa.php.net/write-test.php">the phpt documentation</a> to help you get going.
