1.1. Requirements
The topic of this book is PHPUnit, an open source framework for test-driven development with the PHP programming language. This book covers Version 2.3 of PHPUnit, which requires PHP 5.1. However, most of the examples should work with PHPUnit Versions 2.02.2, as well as PHP 5.0. The "PHPUnit for PHP 4" section, later in this book, covers the older, no longer actively developed version of PHPUnit for PHP 4.
The reader should have a good understanding of object-oriented programming with PHP 5. To German readers, I recommend my book Professionelle Softwareentwicklung mit PHP 5 as an introduction to object-oriented programming with PHP 5. A good English book on the subject is PHP 5 Power Programming by Andi Gutmans, Stig Bakken, and Derick Rethans (Prentice Hall PTR).
