I am a web developer in London, originally from North Germany, but that's longer ago than I can remember ;)

One of my main interests in programming is test-driven programming, which has saved me some 10+ years ago in a very difficult project and that I got addicted to ever since.

Still learning more about it constantly though....it never ends...

I have developed a php tool that helps in conjunction with PHPUnit or other unit testing frameworks to set up test database fixtures in a minimal way:

check it out and critique....or improve... or ignore! It is obviously only one of many approaches, but it has helped me and colleagues quite well over the years...Maybe someone else find a use for it....
