Help me understand unit testing?

Hi All,

I'd like to understand unit testing better (or, in fact, at all). I
understand the broad idea that testing Is A Very Good Thing, but when I have
tried to look into it further (for example, have just been looking through
the PHPUnit site), I always end up thinking 'This looks like more trouble
than it's worth.' I'm sure that's down to me and not the process of unit
testing, but I'd like to get some idea of how people on the list actually
use unit testing in the real world.

I'm assuming that you have your actual application classes and functions
designed in their own files, and then you build a series of unit testing
classes / functions in their own sort of space, but do you build these in
parallel to your application code, or during alpha / beta testing etc?

Any practical or even theoretical advice welcome!

Many thanks,

M is for Murray
