And you? Do you know any interesting tool that is not in this list?

Yes. I would suggest

  • thephpleague/skeleton to kickstart OSS projects on GitHub in 3 minutes
  • Mockery is my favorite mocking library
  • Behat writes your tests for you from your specs
  • PHPMD is old, not obsolete.
  • Faker is the best fake data generator out there

You've already provided a ton of excellent tools. Some I already use everyday. Some I will discover RIGHT NOW OMG LOOKS SOOOO COOOOOOOL

BTW I talk a lot about code quality, so come and subscribe 😎

Just a heads up.

fzaninotto/Faker has been sunsetted, so development has stopped.

I recommend using FakerPHP which an attempt at maintaining and developing the code. It should be a drop-in replacement, I can't think of any changes I've had to made but YMMV.

It only support PHP >7.1.
