I'd prefer to see it split into individual scripts for each  
application. A tests/ folder under each app, a general helper file,  
and .phpt tests for each method are ideal in my opinion.  
Alternatively, I like PHPUnit a lot for unit testing, and you can do  
one function per test that way, plus the test harness.
