Optimizing Your Test Suite
summary
Claims concrete fixes: speed, feedback, readability and organization for PHPUnit suites. Concrete tools and practices: FIRST properties, Arrange Act Assert, setup/data providers, testdocs output, covers annotation, test grouping and patch analysis via php cov and Codecov. Measured costs: a fast suite runs in ~26s; enabling pcov raises that to ~168s and memory to ~3GB versus ~87MB; Xdebug 3 shows ~234s. Examples include a GitHub raytracer project and real coverage reports.
