CodeRush vs. Coverage.py vs. PHPUnit vs. Xdebug Comparison Chart

Try your first CodeRush feature right now and see instantly just how powerful it is. Refactoring for C#, Visual Basic, and XAML, with the fastest test .NET runner available, next generation debugging, and the most efficient coding experience on the planet. Quickly find symbols and files in your solution and easily navigate to code constructions related to the current context. CodeRush includes the Quick Navigation and Quick File Navigation features, which make it fast and easy to find symbols and open files. Using the Analyze Code Coverage feature, you can discover what parts of your solution are covered by unit tests, and find the at-risk parts of your application. The Code Coverage window shows percentage of statements covered by unit tests for each namespace, type, and member in your solution.

PHPUnit requires the dom and json extensions, which are normally enabled by default. PHPUnit also requires the pcre, reflection, and spl extensions. These standard extensions are enabled by default and cannot be disabled without patching PHP’s build system and/or C sources. The code coverage report feature requires the Xdebug (2.7.0 or later) and tokenizer extensions. Generating XML reports requires the xmlwriter extension. Unit Tests are primarily written as a good practice to help developers identify and fix bugs, to refactor code and to serve as documentation for a unit of software under test. To achieve these benefits, unit tests ideally should cover all the possible paths in a program. One unit test usually covers one specific path in one function or method. However a test method is not necessarily an encapsulated, independent entity. Often there are implicit dependencies between test methods, hidden in the implementation scenario of a test.
