CodeIgniter and SimpleTest - How to make your first test?

Question

I am using web development using LAMP, PHP5, MySQL and NetBeans with Xdebug.

Now I want to improve my development by learning to use (A) proper testing and (B) structure. So I set up CodeIgniter, SimpleTest and a simple Xdebug add-in for Firefox. This is great because maroonbytes provided me with clear instructions and a customized setup ready for download. I stand on the shoulders of giants and am very grateful.

I have used SimpleTest in the past. Here is what I wrote:

<?php
require_once('../simpletest/unit_tester.php');
require_once('../simpletest/reporter.php');

class TestOfMysqlTransaction extends UnitTestCase {
  function testDB_ViewTable() {
    $this->assertEqual(1,1);   // a pseudo-test
  }
}
$test = new TestOfMysqlTransaction();
$test->run(new HtmlReporter())
?>
