<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>Snap (SnapTest, Snap Test, ST) was designed initially by someone who didn’t like unit tests, but understood how important they were. With the advent of <span class="caps">PHP</span> 5, it became clear that some of the existing projects for <span class="caps">PHP</span> based unit testing needed overhauls. With the new reflection utilities, it became possible to build out unit tests quickly and effectively. It also doesn’t hurt that by making the authoring of tests simpler, people were more likely to do them.</p>
