Not really specific to PHP.

JUnit is a unit testing framework for Java code.

There is a Java framework called [link|http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/|HttpUnit], however, that can do GET, POST, manage cookies, parse HTML, etc. So HttpUnit in conjunction with JUnit is pretty good for testing web pages.

And in fact, looking at that page now for the first time in a few months I see that HttpUnit now [link|http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/doc/Javascript-support.html|supports some Javascript].

Also from that page

Didn't see that link until after I posted, but there's [link|http://phpunit.sourceforge.net/|PHPUnit]. The docs are kind of sparse. It's hard to tell what are the example class names, and which are the actual PHPUnit classes, but I suppose that will make more sense once I have it installed.

HttpUnit is more useful for integration testing.

I've also used portions of it to simulate a web browser in 'screen-scraping' type applications.

We use PHPUnit where I work.

If you do any kind of object programming in PHP, it will not be hard to figure out how to use it. We have one file per test class with multiple Test* methods that test things. Just be aware that you can't leave intermediate stuff hanging around between tests - it creates and destroys the test instance for each test.
