Hi,
I currently use Simpletest to unit test the back-end of my site, (I
still aim to cover the front-end at some later stage).
I have about 2000 tests and try to write more every day...
But am now wondering if, long term, Simpletest is the right tool for
unit testing my app.
If for not other reason than it has not been updated for some time now,
and, maybe more importantly, there hardly seems to be any support for it
in general.
PHPUnit on the other hand, seems to have a much larger support base,
regular updates/discussions.
Most comparisons I Googled seem to be 2 or 3 years old, nothing really
'current', (for example,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34312/simple-test-vs-phpunit).
Shall I bite the bullet now and move to phpunit or will simpletest still
be good enough for a long, long time?
Any comments/suggestions?
Thanks
Simon
