When using PHPUnit with xampp the first the to do is install PHPUnit through pear. You usually need to update pear first, after that you should be able to follow the instructions here Getting PHPUnit working with Magento is fairly straight forward.

This replaces the file selector with a keyboard optimised version, which includes auto-complete and narrowing down a file list as you type. If you prefer the keyboard over the mouse this is a required extension!
