Looks like your test suit folder is not resolving towards the actual application folder. See how you have
|| define(`APPLICATION_PATH`, realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . `/../application`));
but your dirname is currently pointing to the test/application/controller directory which, of course, does not have your actual application. Try pointing the application folder that is under the top root instead,
|| define(`APPLICATION_PATH`, realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . `/../../../application`));
Also, take care to follow the standard of using PHP Unit in Zend Framework as described at http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/zend.test.phpunit.html . The framework needs to be fully bootstraped before the autoloader can work.
