## Testing

To run functional tests and unit tests in Yii, recommended is installing PHPUnit and SeleniumRC.

- Install PHPUnit
- Follow [the official version 3.6 installation instructions](http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.06/en/installation.html).
- Open "Tools > Options > PHP > Unit Testing" and set the correct path to phpunit.bat
- Install SeleniumRC by getting the NetBeans plugin
[...]
- Restart NetBeans

For above and many more reasons, Yii core files should be kept **outside** project directory and anywhere outside any web-accessible directory. I.e. if you keep your project files in Apache's _httpd_ directory, it is wise to create a new dir (called _yii_, _framewore_ or sth. like that) in the same level of dirtree (inside Apache main folder, **not** in _httpd_ dir!) and put Yii core files there. If you do that, you have to include Yii folder in _Include Path_, as it is written above.
