This is my user Model class

class admin_Model_User

//User.php
}

This is my UserTest Class with simple AssertType

class admin_Model_UserTest 
    extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function testUserModel()
    {

        $testUser = new admin_Model_User();
            $this->assertType("admin_Model_User",$testUser);
    }

When I run this. I am getting following Errors

All I need to do is this

//file:ControllerTestCase.php
<?php
require_once GLOBAL_LIBRARY_PATH. '/Zend/Application.php';
require_once GLOBAL_LIBRARY_PATH. '/Zend/Test/PHPUnit/ControllerTestCase.php';

abstract class ControllerTestCase extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{
    protected $_application;

    protected function setUp()
    {
        $this->bootstrap = array($this, 'appBootstrap');
        parent::setUp();
    }

    public function appBootstrap()
    {
        $this->_application = new Zend_Application(APPLICATION_ENV,
              APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
        );
        $this->_application->bootstrap();

        /**
         * Fix for ZF-8193
         * http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-8193
         * Zend_Controller_Action->getInvokeArg('bootstrap') doesn't work
         * under the unit testing environment.
         */
        $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
        if($front->getParam('bootstrap') === null) {
            $front->setParam('bootstrap', $this->_application->getBootstrap());
        }
    }
}

// and then require_once it in Bootstrap file. thats all :) it is working.

You need to bootstrap Zend in your project's PHPUnit bootstrap.php file. Even though you are testing models and thus don't need the dispatcher, you must still have Zend_Application load application.ini and register its autoloader.

You can use Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase to do the bootstrapping instead and make sure your model tests run after one of these, but that's a bit hacky.

Another option is to require_once the model classes manually for each test. The reason this doesn't work automatically via PHPUnit's autoloader is that it doesn't know how to transform the "namespace" admin_Model into the path admin/models.

Finally, you could write a simple autoloader to replace the one in PHPUnit. Before converting underscores to slashes, check if the class begins with the "namespace" above and replace it if so.
