aiixtest tries to make writing tests really easy. It does not impose specific requirements or format to its test units. Each test unit is merely a valid php script containing some operations; assigned variables are listed, warnings are printed and return value is analysed for a success/failure. Everything is very simple.

Clone https://github.com/ailixter/aiixtest.git, cd to its directory and run demo test suite:

$ cd aiixtest
$ php aiixtest.php demo

that should output the following (except php version):

PHP 5.6.17
----[ init/vars.php ]-----------------------------------------------------------

Initial Vars:

shared $array: array (
);

shared $_hidden: 'hidden shared variable';

o==============================================================================o
|   test/newtest.php                                                           |
o==============================================================================o
   1| <?php
   2|
   3| $a[1][2][] = 'ok';
   4|
   5| echo $_hidden;
   6|
   7| return AIIXTest::assertion($a[1][2][0], !$a[1][2][1]);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hidden shared variable
***** (8): Undefined offset: 1 in /test/newtest.php on 7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vars after:

shared $array: array (
);

$a: array (
  1 =>
  array (
    2 =>
    array (
      0 => 'ok',
    ),
  ),
);

...
...

Nest you can run specific test:

$ php aiixtest.php demo test mustfail

which should output (with intentional failure):

PHP 5.6.17
----[ init/vars.php ]-----------------------------------------------------------

Initial Vars:

shared $array: array (
);

shared $_hidden: 'hidden shared variable';

o==============================================================================o
|   test/mustfail.php                                                          |
o==============================================================================o
   1| <?php
   2|
   3| $var = 'a string';
   4|
   5| return AIIXTest::is_true($var);
   6|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***** is_true(): got string, not boolean
RETURNED: array(1) {
  [0] =>
  string(8) "a string"
}
EXPECTED: true
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vars after:

shared $array: array (
);

$var: 'a string';
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE END

At last you can issue:

$ php aiixtest.php -XRW demo

to get just a brief view which of tests haven't been passed (failed):

PHP 5.6.17

***** is_true(): got string, not boolean
test/mustfail.php FAILED!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE END
