SimpleTest 1.0.1 beta release is the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=76550">latest version</a>.
It's very stable although PHP5 users will find it doesn't
run with E_STRICT : it's still fully PHP4 compatible.

<p>
Familiar with unit testing ? Just dive directly into SimpleTest with
<a href="en/start-testing.html">the one-page starter</a> and
<a href="http://simpletest.org/api/">the complete API</a>.
<br />
Otherwise see the ongoing
<a href="en/overview.html">documentation</a>.
<br />
And for example test cases check out the
<a href="en/first_test_tutorial.html">tutorial</a>.

Need help on your testing strategy ?
Feel free to join the
<a href="https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=76550">SimpleTest support mailing-list</a>.

<p>
If you need some new functionnality in SimpleTest, you may want to look at
the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=547458&group_id=76550&func=browse">features tracker</a>.
Also the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=547455&group_id=76550&func=browse">bug</a> and
<a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=76550&atid=547457">patches</a> trackers can be useful.

SimpleTest v1.0.1beta is <a href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=76550">available for download</a>.
</p>
<p>
The <strong>SimpleTest PHP unit tester</strong>
is available for download from your nearest
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpletest/">SourceForge</a>.
It is a PHP unit test and web test framework.
Users of <a href="http://www.junit.org/">JUnit</a> will be
familiar with most of the interface.
The <a href="http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/">JWebUnit</a>
style functionality is more complete now.
It has support for SSL, forms, frames, proxies and basic authentication.
The current CVS code should become the 1.0.1 release real soon now and
includes file upload and many small improvements.
The idea is that common but fiddly PHP tasks, such as logging into a site,
can be tested easily.
</p>
<h2>Screenshots</h2>
<p>
Here's what the result of your first test would look like :
</p>
<p>
<img class="screenshot" alt="test with 1 pass" src="images/test-with-1-pass.png" border="0" id="test-with-1-pass" />
</p>
<p>
Well not quite. In true TDD fashion, you should see a failing test case :
</p>
<p>
<img class="screenshot" alt="test with 1 fail" src="images/test-with-1-fail.png" border="0" id="test-with-1-fail" />
</p>
<p>
You may also prefer doing your testing with the command-line :
</p>
<p>
<img alt="test in cli" src="images/test-in-cli.png" border="0" id="test-in-cli" />
</p>
<h2>Documentation</h2>
<p>
While (still) very scattered around different sites, the SimpleTest documentation is quite dense and thorough.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
in english there's <a href="en/first_test_tutorial.html">a tutorial</a>
and <a href="en/unit_test_documentation.html">the official documentation</a>.
</li>
<li>
<cite>en français, il y a aussi <a href="fr/first_test_tutorial.html">le tutoriel</a>
et <a href="fr/unit_test_documentation.html">la documentation</a></cite>.
</li>
<li>
a fully <a href="http://simpletest.org/api/">documentated API</a> is also generated with phpDocumentor.
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Contributing</h2>
<p>
For translators the documentation is available in XML format :
we're always please to add new languages to our code base.
</p>
<p>
And while we do try our best keeping this tool bug-free, detecting defects and
submitting failing test cases and/or patches can come very handy ! Interested ?
Drop by the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=76550">mailing-list</a>,
most things tend to happen there...
