How to use Zend Framework 1.8 unit testing?

Question

Hello,

In Zend Framework 1.8, using Zend_Tool, the framework now generates controllers, actions, etc. automatically.

What it does is that it also creates a tests directory when creating a project.

quickstart
|-- application
|   |-- Bootstrap.php
|   |-- configs
|   |   `-- application.ini
|   |-- controllers
|   |   |-- ErrorController.php
|   |   `-- IndexController.php
|   |-- models
|   `-- views
|       |-- helpers
|       `-- scripts
|           |-- error
|           |   `-- error.phtml
|           `-- index
|               `-- index.phtml
|-- library
|-- public
|   `-- index.php
    `-- tests
|-- application
|   `-- bootstrap.php
|-- library
|   `-- bootstrap.php
    `-- phpunit.xml

So what does it do? How do I actually use it? I am reading about unit-testing and hopefully this will help understand it more.

Thanks, Wenbert

You have to create the test folder manually. I followed this tutorial.
