I've seen you mention Apache-Test before, but I didn't realize that it
had integrated PHP testing in it. Looks interesting.

I've actually been using phpt tests for a number of months now, and find
them very well suited for most tasks I throw at them (typically API
testing). However, I could see Apache-Test being useful for full
application testing.

Thanks for pointing this out!
