That way you don't need to verify manually each time you change something. See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2984096/unit-integration-and-system-tests-for-php-applications">unit, integration and system tests for PHP applications</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Then I tried to test it locally but I think I have to setup a server in my computer, am I right?</p> </blockquote> <p>No. <a href="http://files.zend.com/help/PDT/working_with_the_debugger.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Zend Debugger allows you to step your local code</a>. And you can also execute the code by just <a href="http://files.zend.com/help/previous-version/Zend-Studio-7/running_php_scripts_locally.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">running the script and check it's output</a>. However, if you want to <a href="http://files.zend.com/help/PDT/working_with_the_debugger.htm#MiniTOCBookMark4" rel="nofollow noreferrer">test by clicking through your application's UI</a>, then you need a webserver. PHP has a built-in webserver though, which might be sufficient for that purpose. See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3246904/are-there-any-php-frameworks-contain-small-webserver-and-rich-console-tools-like/3247128#3247128">Are there any php frameworks contain small webserver and rich console tools like RoR/Django?</a></p> <p>On a side note, <a href="http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/comparison" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Eclipse with PDT and Zend Debugger is not Zend Studio.</a> If you want to use Zend Studio with a local server, consider installing <a href="http://www.zend.com/en/products/server/free-edition" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Zend Server Community Edition</a> which will setup the entire PHP stack for you for out of the box usage. <a href="http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=5903" rel="nofollow noreferrer">No fiddling with getting Zend Debugger running with XAMP.</a> Questions about Zend Studio and Server are best asked at <a href="http://forums.zend.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://forums.zend.com</a> btw</p>
