Unit test API
From MoodleDocs
The purpose of unit testing is to test the individual parts of the program (functions, and methods of classes) to make sure that each individually does the right thing. Once unit testing has given you the confidence that each part works, then you should use other forms of testing to ensure that the different parts work together properly.

More about unit testing in general
The best book I know about unit testing is 'Pragmatic Unit Testing in Java with JUnit by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas. I know, this book is not called Pragmatic Unit Testing in PHP with SimpleTest. However, it is an excellent book. Short, to the point, and very practical. And most of what it says is not specific to Java and JUnit. It is obvious how to apply it all to our situation.
