While transforming some of the Ant buildfile refactorings described in Julian Simpson's seminal essay into a Phing context, it felt plainly wrong that I didn't have any tests for the buildfile to back me up on obtaining the pristine behaviour throughout the process. While Ant users can rely on an Apache project called AntUnit there are currently no tailor-made tools available for testing or verifying Phing buildfiles. Therefor I took a weekend off, locked myself in the stuffy lab, and explored the abilities to test Phing buildfiles respectively their included properties, targets and tasks with the PHPUnit testing framework. In case you'd like to take a peek at the emerged lab jottings, keep on scanning.
