PCOV vs. PHPUnit vs. V Programming Language vs. beSOURCE 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.

Integrate security into SDLC via potent code analysis. Security must be an integral part of software development. Historically it hasn’t been. Static application security testing (SAST) used to be divorced from Code quality reviews, resulting in limited impact and value. beSOURCE addresses the code security quality of applications and thus integrates SecOps into DevOps. Other SAST offerings look at security as an isolated function. Beyond Security has turned this model upside-down by assuming the SecOps’ perspective in addressing security from all possible angles. Security Standards. beSOURCE adheres to all pertinent standards, guiding static code analysis engine in providing an actionable reference point.
