PHPUnit: Running tests from instances

I'm wondering if there's a way to run a PHPUnit test from an object. Example

<?php

class FooTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase{

   public function testTrue(){
     $this->assertTrue(true);
   }

}

Then in another PHP file:

<?php

$test = new FooTest;

// function to run $test->testTrue();

Is this possible? Thanks.

Yes it is possible. It can be done like this:

$test = new FooTest();
$results = $test->run();

When you create your tests, you are extending the PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase. PHPUnit calls the run method on each of the tests. So you would be able to call this yourself on the test to run it. This method returns a PHPUnit_Framework_TestResult which you can use to see the results of the test.

Checkout the PHPUnit source code for more info about the different objects.
