Automated testing supports your constant effort in design and refactoring, and besides that ensures that your application actually works in a reliable and repeatable way. Tests at every level of detail are a form of executable specification and documentation. They give you immediate feedback and confidence that your code works, plus a satisfying green bar many times a day.
I've been consulting on a Zend Framework application, with the goal of repairing the test suite and expanding it. In this article I'll describe the different categories of testing, as applied to a Zend Framework 1 application, but this classification pertains to every web application based on object-oriented programming.
