VisualPHPUnit

VisualPHPUnit

VisualPHPUnit is a visual front-end for PHPUnit.

Version 3.1.1 is the latest and greatest. Version 2.3.2 is also working just fine.

VisualPHPUnit is not php 7 compatible at this time due to the way phpunit is utilized. Php 7 will be supported in the next major release.
