Over on Jeff Moore's weblog today, he as a mention of an application that can help you and other developers on your team with the PHP testing and coverage of your applications.

I ran across this O'Reily article about SpikeSource today. Very interesting.

They have released a coverage reporting tool, Spike PHP Coverage, for PHP that works with XDebug coverage data. It works with Simple Test and it seems to be able aggregate the results of remote test runs, such as for web based tests. I have wanted something exactly like this. I can't wait to get the chance to generate a consolidated coverage report for WACT.

With this tool you can generate coverage reports for your code, as well as the ability to expand the functionality with your own test suites (Jeff's example is the WACT test suite). Testing and reporting like this can not only help you make your application better, but it can encourage better coding practices when there is a group of programmers working with the same application...
