FIT stands for Framework for Integrated Test (See: FIT Wiki) realices acceptance tests with heavy use of HTML documents. Those documents do not just contain the usual blah-blah but hard facts. The factsare actually stored in (HTML) tables. This is where FIT - respectively PHPFIT - comes in. The FIT knows which testing class must be executed for a particular table and which function to call to calculate the results of a specific cell and the framework makes it very easy for you to implement concrete test-classes.
Also FIT simply handles HTML documents. As such they can be viewed a common browsers and even created with Word-a-like editors. Hence FIT goes far beyond what traditional unit testing offers (FIT is not meant to replace unit-tests) and may enrich your next project.
Hopefully PHPFIT will be available as official PEAR package. Unfortunately I lost my password. So I was not capable to push the proposal any further But this will change.
