PHPUnit vs. Python vs. UndercoverCI vs. Xdebug Comparison Chart

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.

Actionable test coverage for Ruby and GitHub. Checks and insights to help your team ship healthy code while saving time on PR reviews. Stop focusing on getting to 100% test coverage. Reduce pull request defects by telling when the changed code is untested before it's deployed to production. The CI server runs tests and uploads coverage data to UndercoverCI. That's the only required post-install setup step! We scan the PR diff and verify local test coverage for each updated class, method, and block because an absolute percentage check is not enough. Reveal untested methods and blocks, find unused code paths, and improve your test suite. Install UndercoverCI's hosted GitHub App or explore the Ruby gems family. Fully-featured GitHub App code review integration with quick setup for your organization. The UndercoverCI project and related Ruby gems are entirely open-source and free to use locally and in your CI/CD workflows.
