    <para>
        Knowing how to setup your testing infrastructure and how to make
        assertions is only half the battle; now it's time to start looking at
        some actual testing scenarios to see how you can leverage them.

        <title>Testing a UserController</title>

        <para>
            Let's consider a standard task for a website: authenticating and registering users. In
            our example, we'll define a UserController for handling this, and have the following
            requirements:
        </para>

        <itemizedlist>
            <listitem>
                <para>
                    If a user is not authenticated, they will always be redirected
                    to the login page of the controller, regardless of the action
                    specified.
                </para>
            </listitem>

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    The login form page will show both the login form and the
                    registration form.
                </para>
            </listitem>

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    Providing invalid credentials should result in returning to the login form.

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    Valid credentials should result in redirecting to the user profile page.

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    The profile page should be customized to contain the user's username.

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    Authenticated users who visit the login page should be
                    redirected to their profile page.

            </listitem>

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    On logout, a user should be redirected to the login page.
                </para>
            </listitem>

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    With invalid data, registration should fail.
                </para>
            </listitem>
        </itemizedlist>

        <para>
            We could, and should define further tests, but these will do for
            now.
        </para>

        <para>
            For our application, we will define a plugin, 'Initialize', that
            runs at <methodname>routeStartup()</methodname>. This allows us to encapsulate
            our bootstrap in an OOP interface, which also provides an easy way
            to provide a callback. Let's look at the basics of this class
            first:

        <para>
            This allows us to create a bootstrap callback like the following:
        </para>

        <programlisting language="php"><![CDATA[

            Once we have that in place, we can write our tests. However, what
            about those tests that require a user is logged in? The easy
            solution is to use our application logic to do so... and fudge a
            little by using the <methodname>resetRequest()</methodname> and
            <methodname>resetResponse()</methodname> methods, which will allow us to
            dispatch another request.
        </para>

            Notice that these are terse, and, for the most part, don't look for
            actual content. Instead, they look for artifacts within the
            response -- response codes and headers, and DOM nodes. This allows
            you to verify that the structure is as expected -- preventing your
            tests from choking every time new content is added to the site.
        </para>

        <para>
            Also notice that we use the structure of the document in our tests.
            For instance, in the final test, we look for a form that has a node
            with the class of "errors"; this allows us to test merely for the
            presence of form validation errors, and not worry about what
            specific errors might have been thrown.
        </para>

        <para>
            This application <emphasis>may</emphasis> utilize a database. If
            so, you will probably need some scaffolding to ensure that the
            database is in a pristine, testable configuration at the beginning
            of each test. PHPUnit already provides functionality for doing so;
            <ulink
                url="http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.4/en/database.html">read
                about it in the PHPUnit documentation</ulink>. We recommend
            using a separate database for testing versus production, and in
            particular recommend using either a SQLite file or in-memory
            database, as both options perform very well, do not require a
            separate server, and can utilize most <acronym>SQL</acronym> syntax.
