单元测试是几个现代敏捷开发方法的基础，使得PHPUnit成为许多大型PHP项目的关键工具。这个工具也可以被Xdebug扩展用来生成代码覆盖率报告 ，并且可以与phing集成来自动测试，最后它还可以和Selenium整合来完成大型的自动化集成测试。

Windows平台LAMP环境XAMPP 1.7.3下如何安装PHPUnit呢？

首先，以管理员身份运行cmd，使用pear添加phpunit频道：

D:xamppphp>pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de

Channel "pear.phpunit.de" is already initialized

频道添加好，尝试安装PHPUnit：

D:xamppphp>pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

Unknown remote channel: pear.symfony-project.com

Unknown remote channel: pear.symfony-project.com

Unknown remote channel: components.ez.no

Unknown remote channel: components.ez.no

phpunit/PHPUnit requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.1), installed version is 1.9.0

phpunit/PHPUnit requires package "channel://pear.symfony-project.com/YAML" (version >= 1.0.2)

phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use PHP extension "dbus"

phpunit/DbUnit requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.1), installed version is1.9.0

phpunit/DbUnit requires package "channel://pear.symfony-project.com/YAML" (version >= 1.0.2)

phpunit/File_Iterator requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.1), installed version is 1.9.0

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.1), installed version is 1.9.0

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage requires package "channel://components.ez.no/ConsoleTools" (version >= 1.6)

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage requires package "phpunit/File_Iterator" (version >= 1.2.2)

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage can optionally use PHP extension "xdebug" (version >= 2.0.5)

phpunit/PHPUnit_MockObject requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.1), installed version is 1.9.0

phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.1), installed version is 1.9.0

phpunit/PHP_TokenStream requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.9.1), installed version is 1.9.0

phpunit/PHP_TokenStream requires package "channel://components.ez.no/ConsoleTools" (version >= 1.6)

No valid packages found

install failed

从提示看出，需要安装PEAR 1.9.1，而当前PEAR是1.9.0，那就要先升级PEAR版本。

pear list-upgrades可以列出当前可用的更新，

D:xamppphp>pear.bat list-upgrades

更新成功后，PEAR已经是1.9.1版了，现在可以放心地安装PHPUnit了：

上面信息来看，还是没有安装成功，pear.symfony-project.com和components.ez.no两个频道也要添加一下：

D:xamppphp>pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

Adding Channel "pear.symfony-project.com" succeeded

Discovery of channel "pear.symfony-project.com" succeeded

D:xamppphp>pear channel-discover components.ez.no

再次尝试安装PHPUnit：

D:xamppphp>pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage can optionally use PHP extension "xdebug" (version >= 2.0.5)
