Unit Testing for Web App

    I want to give this Extreme Programming thing a try on a small project (est 110-130 hours) I've just contracted to do. It's just me, so I can't do pair programming, but my client is willing enough to engage more in the development process than they usually are.

    System will be a web app, written using PHP & mySQL, generating basic HTML tied to a CSS, with a bit of Javascript.

    I've had a look at HTML Unit and though it might suit, it's in Java, which I haven't used for a year, so writing the unit tests might be more of a bottleneck than it's worth.

    Any suggestions for other ways to write quick unit tests for the browser side of an app (I can unit test the mySQL stuff easy enough directly in PHP)?

    Thanks

    might not be quite what you want but apache jmeter is a kind of gui application (you can script it too) that can request web pages and pattern match for certain stuff in the pages. I use it for load/stress testing as its good at simulating many users at a time etc

    Thanks, I337. Will have a look at it. Java too. Maybe there's no avoiding it. :(
