Improved Netbeans PHP Unit Support

Just been reading the NetBeans Blog finding out about the improved support for PHPUnit Tests.

This is really cool because creating unit tests can be so dull. I can't say all of the routine stuff has been taken out of the loop but you can now auto-generate the stub code for all your unit tests in one go. This makes life a lot easier as you can then build the tests as and when you need them.

Nevertheless, even small projects can generate a lot of test code so it's probably worth considering if you have a project you need to bring into line. Set up the stubs, write the tests and get the test harness into use.

Looks good. I hope we'll make some use of it at work.
