unit, integration and system tests for PHP applications

Question

Hi, We were given an assignment to develop a prototype for a customer community. It was suggested PHP as the programming language. (but we're not supposed to actually code it, just a prototype with documentation is required)

I'm wondering what are the best practices/ tools used in Unit testing, Integration Testing and System testing for such a php app

Thanks

In PHP, the big name in Unit Testing is arguably PHPUnit. Related questions:

As for the integration aspect, maybe this question will give you some pointers:
