php simpletest,simpletest-php单元测试框架的简单使用

最近部门在推行单元测试框架的时候，对C++有指定使用gtest，但对php并没有规定使用的框架，在试用了几个php单元测试框架后，认为simpletest这个框架最简单易用，而phpunit实在过于庞大与繁琐了。 这里简单说一下simpletest的使用。一个简单的unittest文件如下：

define('BASE_PATH','/home/dantezhu/appbase/php/');

require_once BASE_PATH . '/simpletest/autorun.php';

class TestOfSite extends UnitTestCase

{

function __construct()

{

parent::__construct();

}

function setUp() {}

function tearDown() {}

function test_case1()

{

$this->assertTrue(true);

}

}

$test = &new TestOfSite();

//$test->run(new HtmlReporter());

$test->run(new TextReporter());

其中以test开头的函数即为每个testcase，而setUp和tearDown函数分别为每个testcase运行开始前和结束后会自动调用的函数，可以做一些初始化或者清理工作。

$test = &new TestOfSite();

//$test->run(new HtmlReporter());

$test->run(new TextReporter());

最后的这几句是用来执行单元测试，TextReporter会用文本方式展现，HtmlReporter会用html方式展现，对web调试比较友好。 下面就是几种基本的assert方法。

assertTrue($x)Fail unless $x evaluates true

assertFalse($x)Fail unless $x evaluates false

assertNull($x)Fail unless $x is not set

assertNotNull($x)Fail unless $x is set to something

assertIsA($x, $t)Fail unless $x is the class or type $t

assertNotA($x, $t)Fail unless $x is not the class or type $t

assertEqual($x, $y)Fail unless $x == $y is true

assertNotEqual($x, $y)Fail unless $x == $y is false

assertWithinMargin($x, $y, $margin)Fail unless $x and $y are separated less than $margin

assertOutsideMargin($x, $y, $margin)Fail unless $x and $y are sufficiently different

assertIdentical($x, $y)Fail unless $x === $y for variables, $x == $y for objects of the same type

assertNotIdentical($x, $y)Fail unless $x === $y is false, or two objects are unequal or different types

assertReference($x, $y)Fail unless $x and $y are the same variable

assertCopy($x, $y)Fail unless $x and $y are the different in any way

assertSame($x, $y)Fail unless $x and $y are the same objects

assertClone($x, $y)Fail unless $x and $y are identical, but separate objects

assertPattern($p, $x)Fail unless the regex $p matches $x

assertNoPattern($p, $x)Fail if the regex $p matches $x

expectError($e)Triggers a fail if this error does not happen before the end of the test

expectException($e)Triggers a fail if this exception is not thrown before the end of the test

整体来说，simpletest的很多思想和gtest不谋而合，比如说不用注册用例等。 详细的文档可以参见如下链接： http://www.simpletest.org/en/first_test_tutorial.html
