The supposed usecase it to just open the
http://<host>/pmadir/test/wui.php url. In case this gives a white screen
you might wanna look in your webservers logfile. It might be that php is
having trouble executing something.

As the number of tests grows, as I hope, splitting it in subdirectories
is a good way to keep manageable.

I would like however to keep the names simple e.g.:

/test (would only include some testrunner code)
|____/phpunit
|____/selenium
|____/sahi???

Grouping test-classes into suites of a particular area makes good sense.
