PHP CodeSniffer - Sniffs for testable code

Build status , _(*1)

Introduction

This project provides sniffs for some design patterns that improve unit test code testability:, _(*2)

Use dependency injection (do not create instances using new)
Limit the length for a call chain ($this->property->service->method->troubles)
Do not call methods of the same class (this is a sign that your code is too complicated and you should split it in different services)
Not use static calls (Service::method())
Use only public methods (private methods cannot be really unit tested, and they indicate that you should be thinking about creating a new service)

It also provides two other sniffs, useful for CI environments:, _(*3)

composer require --dev elijahb/phpcs-testability

<rule ref="./vendor/elijahb/phpcs-testability"/>

You could also use another two sniffs to complement the ones in this projects:, _(*4)

Using all this sniffs, ideally inside a CI environment, you will be assured to have maintainable and fully unit tested code., _(*5)
