This is a start of a discussion. Well I think it would be great of Sebastian could give us a quick run down of how we can make the best use of phpunit and if he is aware of future developments. Specifically the limitations (compared to phpt) would be of interest and if these can be overcome. Also what is the status of phpunit in regards to php4? Finally the qa team should come up with a proposal for standards (dunno if the cvs dir for the test scripts has been agreed upon at the meeting etc). Regards, Lukas
