What is the best way to test PHP sites/Wordpress?

Hi,
I've heard about various ways of testing PHP/Wordpress sites on one's compute before uploading the files to the server. Typically I create a testing directory and work from there, but this requires a big switch before going live which can be stressful and time consuming. Would you recommend XAMPP, or something else?
I enabled Apache on my MacBook Pro (running Snow Leopard) but am not quite sure how to utilize this to test php sites. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
