I'm not sure if the following is what you are talking about but... I've created automatic test for my Zend_Db_Table extends. I have 1:1 PHP files to database tables. For customer table I have Customer.php and so on. My tester then loads all these files, reads the reference maps and dependent tables and begins to insert, modify and delete one table at a time. It understands the relations, so that all tables with foreign keys will be tested. It reads the metadata of the table from the actual real database and compares that to the reference maps and dependent tables. All in all, this automatic test with real database is rather fast on my development computer and it also tells me to add missing references. I think it's good to have real database, because of possible triggers or other such proses. This automatic testing is still work in progress, but I'd gladly finish it up and upload somewhere. > Thanks in advance > --chuck-- -- Teemu Valimaki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
