This is the first in a two part blog series titled 'Taming the Beast: How to test AJAX applications". In this part we discuss some philosophies around web application testing and how it should be done the 'right' way.

My goal here is simply tackling file uploads from a hands-on point of view and discarding all of those additional configuration settings that must be performed in the web server. Therefore, in this series of articles, I’m going to show you how to build some file uploading mechanisms with PHP 5, which, due their intrinsic modularity, can be easily integrated into other existing PHP applications with minor hassles.
