A Formula 1 race maybe...</p> <p>Starting from this postulate, I found myself wanting to "congratulate" the genius that would automatically generate all my skeletons of unit tests and thus save me a lot of time.</p> <p>I modestly created this tool.<br> <strong>PhpUnitGen</strong> was born.</p> <p>I then told myself that it might be better to take advantage of the time gained, rather than spend it in front of Netflix, and I published the tool in <strong>open source</strong>.</p> <h2> What is PhpUnitGen? </h2> <p><strong>PhpUnitGen</strong> is a development tool, programmed in <em>PHP7.1</em>, which allows generating unit tests skeletons from a <em>PHP</em> source code.</p> <p>The generated tests are written in <em>PHP7.1</em> and to work with <em>PHPUnit 6/7</em>.</p> <p>Here are some of <strong>PhpUnitGen features</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>It automatically detects <em>classes</em>, <em>traits</em> or other formats and instantiates them appropriately.</li> <li>It allows to <strong>generat tests automatically</strong> for <em>getter</em>/<em>setter</em> methods.</li> <li>It proposes many <em>PHP</em> annotations allowing to create simple tests, <em>mocks</em> or instantiations of <em>classes</em>.</li> </ul> <h2> How to use it? </h2> <p>There are two ways to use <strong>PhpUnitGen</strong>.</p> <p>Via the web application (<strong>open source</strong>): <a href="https://phpunitgen.io" rel="noopener noreferrer">phpunitgen.io</a>.</p> <p>Via the <em>Composer</em> package that is used with a <strong>terminal</strong> (also open source): <a href="https://github.com/paul-thebaud/phpunit-generator" rel="noopener noreferrer">paulthebaud/phpunit-generator</a>.</p> <h2> How to help improve PhpUnitGen ? </h2> <p>You can help improve PhpUnitGen by sending all your comments / bugs via <a href="https://github.com/paul-thebaud/phpunit-generator/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer">Github issues</a>.</p> <p>You can also share the link of this article, the package or the web application!</p> <p><strong>Thank you for reading, and see you soon!</strong></p> showdev php testing opensource
