To be quite frank and modest i have come across Unit Testing but never adopted it because i regular run when am done with a class however after much free time i years and especially a requirement in large app development i got to ask is Unit Testing really a neccessity and what are your experiences and benefits you have gotten from it, this is not restricted to PHP , .NET also thanks a troubled coder

i take it no one does unit testing here thats a shame i employ you all to do, its not bad and other companies use them

I use Uniting testing when am doing enterprise java development with Spring framework, it gives you assurance that every part of your codes works as expected. its worth the extra time and energy cos it reduces the amount of time spend in debugging buggy app. i normally write test class for every class i develop to validate all my methods. You may not see the benefit when u write desktop apps and simple php websites but really when it comes to enterprise apps its a is extremely useful.

Well, since i specialize mainly in web apps and come from a background of software programming, i do unit testing. It is an essential aspect to programming.
The best resource i can recommend for unit testing is - http://devzone.zend.com/1115/an-introduction-to-the-art-of-unit-testing-in-php/
