Hi BrowserUk,

Thanks for the comment...
As you have mentioned, my aim is to promote a reply on how to test a stand alone script , i.e. not to test the example I provide in my post.

And what I intend to do is to get used to write the test first before the actuals coding, as what is suggested by PBP chapter 18.1: 
    So write the tests first. Write them as soon as you know what your interface will be.
    Write them before you start coding your application or module.

The impression I get from your comment 
    But in the absence of any real code, it is pretty much impossible to suggest good ways of testing.
is that you need to code first, so you know what to test later.

The example I provide in my post is supposed to be the interface I'll use...


Thanks.
