Run PHPUnit Tests in Certain Order

Question

Is there a way to get the tests inside of a TestCase to run in a certain order? For example, I want to separate the life cycle of an object from creation to use

Answer 1

PHPUnit allows the use of '@depends' annotation which specifies dependent test cases and allows passing arguments between dependent test cases.

Answer 2

If you want your tests to share various helper objects and settings, you can use setUp(), tearDown() to add to the sharedFixture property.
