The only problem with this popular testing tool was its lack of documentation-
until now, that is. For this, O'Reilly went right to the source, as Sebastian 
Bergmann, the author of PHPUnit Pocket Guide, also happens to be PHPUnit's 
creator. This little book brings together hard-to-remember information, syntax, 
and rules for working with PHPUnit. It also delivers the insight and sage advice 
that can only come from the technology's creator. Coverage of testing under 
agile methodologies and Extreme Programming (XP) is also included. 
 
The latest in O'Reilly's series of handy Pocket Guides, this quick-reference 
book puts all the answers are right at your fingertips. It's an invaluable 
companion for anyone interested in testing the PHP code they write for web 
applications.
