Purpose
PHPUnit was created with the view that the sooner you detect your code mistakes, the quicker you can fix them. Like all Unit testing frameworks PHPUnit uses assertions to verify that behaviour of the unit of code under test behaves as expected.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people’s time, not one’s own.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind’s eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.”
—Richard Dawkins (b. 1941)
“Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.”
—George Marshall (1880–1959)
