What is Phut
------------

[](#what-is-phut)

Phunit is a **PH**P **U**nit **T**est framework which uses annotations to mimic the behavior of NUnit for .Net.

Why another unit testing framework?
-----------------------------------

[](#why-another-unit-testing-framework)

I was tired searching for a unit testing framework for PHP that:

- Fully supports namespaces
- Is easy to setup
- Works on Windows without a hassle

So finally, when I didn't find a single framework that did all of the above, I decided to do it myself.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install **Phut** using one of the following methods.

### Using Composer

[](#using-composer)

One simple way to install Phut is to use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). First create or modify your `composer.json` file in the project root to include:

```
{
    "require": {
        "klei/phut": "*"
    },
    "config": {
        "bin-dir": "bin/"
    }
}
```

Then download `composer.phar` from  and run:

```
php composer.phar install

```

### Or using git

[](#or-using-git)

You could also clone the Phut repository with:

```
git clone git://github.com/klei-dev/phut.git

```

Then download composer.phar as above and execute the following:

```
php composer.phar install

```

Writing your first test
-----------------------

[](#writing-your-first-test)

As mentioned above Phut uses annotations to work. The name of the annotations is directly inspired by the NUnit framework for .Net. I.e. a test class must be annotated with `@TestFixture` and each test with `@Test`.

A simple test could therefore look like this:

```
