I worked on a project recently where we used Zend Framework. As part of that project, I was tasked with writing unit tests. So, I went to the "tests" directory generated for me by the zf CLI utility to get started. What I found there was three files.

The new kid on the PHP e-commerce block, Magento, has gotten a good amount of attention leading up to and since its initial release. Earlier this year, I was entasked with doing an analysis of its features and thought it might make for an interesting series of blog posts. What you see here is the result. Comments are welcome, thanks in advance for your contribution.
