How can I tell phpunit where the source and tests can be found

Question

I am a newbie with phpunit but I need it to test something

So, suppose that have the following folders

mainFolder/SRC/x/y/sourceFiles.php
mainFolder/TESTS/x/y/testFiles.php
mainFolder/TESTS/bootstrap.php

When I run phpunit mainFolder it tells me:

Fatal error: Class 'x/y/sourceFile' not found in mainfolder/tests/x/y/testfile.php on line 28

Note that I am a newbie, and I need some help. Thanks

The test files should be able to find the tested classes. Which means you have to require them, or set up a proper autoloading mechanism or pre-load them in a bootstrap file. And probably there are lots of other ways to do this. The test files behave exactly the same in this sense like simple php files.
