Marcus,

Thanks for your time... I thought it should work, I was starting to feel really 
dumb! Here is the code I used, I actually tried this when I tried refactoring, 
since that attempt failed I went to a simple example to see if that would work 
when it didn't I posted.

Below is the code, it's as small as I could make it and represent what I was 
trying to do.  I need to read the second part of your message to see how that 
will help, as that might also help with my testing.

1. fossWebTestCase.php
<?php

if (!defined('SIMPLE_TEST'))
   define('SIMPLE_TEST', '/usr/local/simpletest/');

/* simpletest includes */
require_once SIMPLE_TEST . 'unit_tester.php';
require_once SIMPLE_TEST . 'reporter.php';
require_once SIMPLE_TEST . 'web_tester.php';

class fossWebTestCase extends WebTestCase
{
   public $mybrowser;
   public $debug;

   public function funcTrue() { return(TRUE); }

   public function funcFalse() { return(FALSE); }

   public function someTest()
   {
     print "starting someTest\n";
     if($this->debug)
     {
       print "Checking /tmp\n";
     }
     $this->assertTrue(is_dir('/tmp'));
     $this->assertTrue($this->get('http://www.hp.com'));
   }
}
?>

2. the run script: 'runexp.php

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
require_once('/usr/local/simpletest/web_tester.php');
require_once '/usr/local/simpletest/reporter.php';
require_once ('fossWebTestCase.php');

/**
  * stub to run lib tests
  * Created on Aug 18, 2008
  */

$test = &new TestSuite('Experiment for test libraries');
$test->addFile('exp1.php');
$test->addFile('exp2.php');
$test->addTestFile('exfoss.php');
if (TextReporter::inCli())
{
   exit ($test->run(new TextReporter()) ? 0 : 1);
}
$test->run(new HtmlReporter());
?>

The Test: exfoss.php

<?php

require_once('fossWebTestCase.php');

class expfoss extends fossWebTestCase
{
   function testexpfoss()
   {
     print "running expfoss\n";
     print "using sometest from fossWebTestCase\n";
     $this->someTest();
     print "trying to use exp2::doaTest\n";
     $this->doaTest();
     print "trying to use exp1::guess\n";
     assertTrue($this->guess(7));     // should pass
     assertTrue($this->guess(10));   // should fail
   }
}
?>

Test libraries: (well that's what I'm currently calling them)....
1. exp1.php

<?php

  class exp1tester extends fossWebTestCase
  {
    public $answer = 7;
    function guessTest($guess)
    {
      print "guessTest is running\n";
      $this->assertTrue($this->get('http://fossology.org/'));
      $this->assertText('Fossology Mission');
      if($answer == $guess){
        print "You guessed the answer! it is $answer\n";
        return TRUE;
      }
      else {
        print "Sorry! Incorrect guess, try again\n";
        return FALSE;
      }
    }
  }

Second lib file: exp2.php

<?php

require_once('fossWebTestCase.php');

  class exp2tester extends fossWebTestCase
  {
    function doaTest()
    {
      print "doaTest is running\n";
      $this->assertTrue($this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/'));
      $this->assertText('Why the last craft');
    }
  }
?>

Output:
./runexp.php
Experiment for test libraries
running expfoss
using sometest from fossWebTestCase
starting someTest
trying to use exp2::doaTest

Fatal error: Call to undefined method expfoss::doaTest() in 
/home/markd/Src/fossology/tests/testClasses/exfoss.php on line 17
markd@snape:

The line number of the failure is incorrect, I chopped some more comments to 
make the code smaller.

This being run on a debian etch system, using PHP version PHP 5.2.0-8+etch11 
(cli) and using simpletest_1.0.1.

BTW, I was serious about helping with the documents.  My job will allow me some 
time to do so and I can devote some of my personal time as well.  I really like 
your project and want to help make it even easier to use.  I have notes about 
the current docs.  Should I just file a defect report via Source Forge or post 
them somewhere?

Thanks again for your time.
