I've two question. 1. I'm using XMLDataset and it works fine. But is there a way if I want to use getDataSet() method to use more than one xml files. For example, I've two xml files with has data eg; table1.xml and table2.xml. I've a test which uses both data(table1.xml and table2.xml). Rather than creating another xml file table1_table2.xml and use it within datasource, I want to use existing 2 datasources. It would be great to know if this is possible. 2. I was trying to use return $this->getOperations()->TRUNCATE() method. Is anyone been able to make it work ? I'm using phpunit 3.6 Suggestion would be great. Thanks P Thanks for great tutorial.

I'd really love to see it become the de-facto standard, as it just makes a lot more sense, compared to the way that PHPUnit's mocks work. One thing that's not mentioned as a benefit over PHPUnit, that I love, is the ability to use identicalTo() when verifying arguments to a method call. There's currently a limitation in PHPUnit's mocking system that prevents this, and it just feels right to be able to do so without filthy hax. Thanks again :) Great work on Phake!

I don't use that often with PHPUnit, but when I do, it's quite necessary. When setting the return value, is there a way to specify a callback function instead?

Do you have a video version of this presentation, or would you be willing to present it again via Skype? There are three of us that are wanting to get up to snuff on unit testing with PHPUnit.

As you noted above, there are a lot of preferences around mocking, a lot of approaches, and a lot of strategies to achieve it. I think it's great to see another library make an appearance. While both are technically sound, it finally puts on the horizon the likelihood that PHPers can avail of several mocking/stubbing/spying options depending on their tastes and needs or even familiarity with options across other languages. Which would finally put us on an even footing with Ruby/Java/Python when it comes to mock objects. Keep it up! 2011: Year Of The Mock Object ;)

There is nothing technically wrong with it, just a matter of preference. The biggest one being that I prefer to verify the calls to mocks after the test is exercised.
