Zend Unit Test : Action Helper not found Layout

Im trying to integrate unit test within my project because expending the site code base to go from supporting 1 site, to 3 sites, and we want to be sure everything works well on every site.

I started with a basic setup but this throws the next exception already.

Zend_Controller_Exception : Action Helper by name Layout not found#0 C:\xampp\htdocs\***\library\Zend\Controller\Action\HelperBroker.php(293): Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::_loadHelper('Layout')
#1 C:\xampp\htdocs\***\library\Zend\Controller\Action\HelperBroker.php(339): Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker->getHelper('layout')

My file structure is as follow

• application
  • config
  • languages
  • modules
  • templates
  • Bootstrap.php
• data
• library
• public
• tests
  • application
  • controllers
  • IndexControllerTest.php
  • ControllerTest.php
  • data
  • log
  • Bootstrap.php
  • phpunit.xml
• index.php

My Bootstrap.php (in tests folder) looks as follow

<?php
error_reporting( E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

if (!defined('BASE_PATH')) {
    define('BASE_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));
}

if (!defined('APPLICATION_PATH')) {
    define('APPLICATION_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/../application');
}

if (!defined('APPLICATION_ENV')) {
    define('APPLICATION_ENV', 'testing');
}

if (!defined('LIBRARY_PATH')){
    define('LIBRARY_PATH', BASE_PATH . '/../library');
}

if (!defined('DS')) {
    define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
}

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    '.',
    LIBRARY_PATH,
    get_include_path()
)));

// Include and launch the autoloader
require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
$loader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$loader->registerNamespace('Zend');

// Create application, bootstrap, and run
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';
$application = new Zend_Application(APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/config/config.php');
$application->bootstrap();

//
Zend_Session::$_unitTestEnabled = true;
Zend_Session::start();
clearstatcache();

also phpunit.xml doesn't seem to run as my logs get writen to data/logs/log.log instead of /log/coverage.

I'm running the unit tests using the run function in phpstorm and my configuration is as follow

Test name: Test Test runner: C:\xampp\htdocs***\tests, Test Scope: Directory Use alternative configuration file: C:\xampp\htdocs***\tests\phpunit.xml - PHPUnit library: Load from include path - Test runner: Default configuration file: C:\xampp\htdocs***\test\phpunit.xml

I'm not sure how to fix the Layout not found and if my configuration is right.
