Unit Testing
Doctrine is programmatically tested using UnitTests. You can read more about unit testing

Running tests
In order to run the tests that come with doctrine you need to check out the entire project, not
just the lib folder.
Listing
27-1
$ svn co http://svn.doctrine-project.org/1.0 /path/to/co/doctrine
Now change directory to the checked out copy of doctrine.
Listing
27-2
$ cd /path/to/co/doctrine
You should see the following files and directories listed.

of Doctrine.
CLI
To run tests on the command line, you must have php-cli installed.
Navigate to the /path/to/co/doctrine/tests folder and execute the run.php script:
