Re: New unit testing framework?

Hi...
The 1.1 release is complete bar some minor bug fixes, compatibility checks (it works with PHP 5.0.3 to 6 we hope) and most annoying of all, the documentation update. That part is drudge, but half done.
Once the compatibility 1.1 release is out, SimpleTest gets a big overhaul. It's been very delayed by my personal circumstances (long work hours, selling houses and stuff) and other projects (conference, Phemto, CGreen). Most of the new code ideas have already been spiked. Just need to set aside time to do it. It will take a little time still, but it is about to get priority.
The mocking will get the biggest overhaul (with a legacy version for backward compatibility). YayMock will certainly be an option, but the fluent interface language needs to be put through the mill first.
yours, Marcus
Well, I'm certainly interested in how you think It should work. Any "ideal code" you have in mind. Feel free to post it here, or to our own mail list.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:Does anybody know if a newer testing framework than PHPUnit / simpletest is being developedor has been developed? I mean, these work fine, but they just seem out-dated and neither have the most ideal interface. I'm a little surprised these two libraries are the best PHP has to offer. Don't get me wrong, I love simpletest, but I'm just convinced it could be done much better.
