Introduction to SimpleTest

Summary of SimpleTest including it's Java tool roots.

The SimpleTest PHP unit tester is in the 1.0.1 release cycle and is available for download from your nearest SourceForge.

It is a PHP unit test, mock objects and web test framework. Users of JUnit will be familiar with most of the interface. For web testing a small web browser is included, similar to JWebUnit. It has support for SSL, frames, proxies, basic authentication, redirects, and the standard HTML form controls. The idea is that common but fiddly PHP tasks, such as logging into a site, can be tested easily as calling `click()`.

There is currently no support for JavaScript in the web tester. For testing these elements we recommend Selenium.
