Your Include Path is likely not configured correctly for your IDE. For Netbeans, follow the instructions given in the Netbeans User Manual:

• http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/project-setup.html#phpIncludePath

If you are not using include statements to include the files to be tested in the UnitTests, you also have to bootstrap the environment. Executing the UnitTests from the IDE will likely not run your regular bootstrap file. Consider adding a phpunit.xml file to your tests:

<phpunit backupGlobals="true"
     backupStaticAttributes="false"
     <!--bootstrap="/path/to/bootstrap.php"-->
     colors="false"
     …
<php>
    <includePath>.</includePath>

See the Appendix in the PHPUnit Manual for more information:

• https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/appendixes.configuration.html

Follow the instructions given in the Netbeans User Manual to make the IDE consider the file automatically when tests are run:
