Since Matthew originally started hacking on the Zend Framework MVC in the fall of 2006, he has been touting the fact that you can test ZF MVC projects by utilizing the Request and Response objects; indeed, this is what he actually did to test the Front Controller and Dispatcher. However, until recently, there was never an easy way to do so in your userland projects; the default request and response objects make it difficult to easily and quickly setup tests, and the methods introduced into the front controller to make it testable are largely undocumented. So, one of his ongoing projects the past few months has been to create an infrastructure for functional testing of ZF projects using PHPUnit. This past weekend, Matthew made the final commits that make this functionality feature complete.
