Abstract: The creation of web applications is among the most dynamically evolving fields in software development. Every day, new technologies for web application development emerge, building upon and enhancing existing ones. One of the most commonly used and preferred programming languages for building web applications is PHP. For years, PHP has supported over three-quarters of all existing websites and web applications on the internet. Despite the growing interest in other web programming languages like JavaScript and Python, PHP remains a favourite choice for developers worldwide due to the consistent support from its development team, which maintains the language and releases new versions. Its easy integration with various web servers and database management systems, as well as the rich variety of frameworks and libraries, make PHP a suitable tool for building complex web applications. While developing complex software systems, ensuring functionality, reliability, and the overall quality of the software is crucial. For this purpose, specialists use software tests to measure various indicators and provide an objective evaluation of the tested software. To achieve this objective assessment, testers use a set of tools known as a testing suite, which combines various software testing products to thoroughly and comprehensively test the developed software. This report examines different approaches and types of tests in software testing. It introduces modern libraries and frameworks for testing PHP web applications. The various aspects of these tools are analyzed, defining their strengths and weaknesses, and comparing their effectiveness in different situations. The report aims to demonstrate the value that software testing brings to the final product, both for its users and its developers.
