Read more about it at: > http://qa.php.net/write-test.php Hmm - has there been a decision for an "official" way to do it? Now I hear about phpt, several times in the past PHPUnit-tests were mentioned ... And what's even more interesting for me: How should I test functions that don't have real "return values" but modify a state of an object or of a file? E.g. many functions of class DB or MP3-tagging (ID3) of a file. Any proposal for unit-tests under those circumstances? Stefan
