I've been unittesting my php/js code for a few years now and wouldn't turn back. I have to deploy several frameworks I've written. When I make major changes, it's sure nice to see that pretty little green bar :) I don't want those "hey something is broke" emails, and haven't had one in a long while.

That's the paradigm shift right there ;P What about functional testing in conjunction with unit testing? Where I work we've been using funkload (a Python library for automated functional testing and load testing) and AutoIT (a Windows-only scripting engine for keyboard and mouse input) for functional testing.

PHPUnit is pretty awesome, and I like it's documentation a lot. But Simple Test is what we've been using recently because it fits in with CakePHP. I liked Shiflett's presentation but haven't done a whole lot with the test-more.php class.

In 2001 I came up with the following saying: "The first step in confirming there is a bug in someone else's work is confirming there are no bugs in your own."

Which of these testing suites will you use? Or are you giving us the choice because you are still indecisive yourself? Mike, well written. Which of these testing suites will you use?
