PHPUnit is a unit testing suite for the PHP language, modelled on the xUnit testing framework, designed by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma. If you've used JUnit (for Java), PyUnit (for Python), CxxUnit (for C++), or any of the other equivalents for other languages, the API for this package should seem fairly familiar. If you've never written unit tests before, the PHPUnit API is simple to learn and use.
