README

Provides an extension for detecting slow tests in phpunit/phpunit.

Installation

Run

$ composer require --dev ergebnis/phpunit-slow-test-detector

Usage

Activating the extension

This extension provides three event subscribers for phpunit/phpunit:

• Subscriber\TestPreparedSubscriber
• Subscriber\TestPassedSubscriber
• Subscriber\TestSuiteFinishedSubscriber

These subscribers depend on the following:

• a TimeKeeper for keeping test prepared and passed times
• a MaximumDuration
• a Collector\Collector for collecting slow tests
• a Reporter\Reporter for reporting slow tests

To activate this extension, you need to register these subscribers with the event system of phpunit/phpunit. As of the moment, this is only possible with a bootstrap.php script:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Ergebnis\PHPUnit\SlowTestDetector;
use PHPUnit\Event;

$timeKeeper = new SlowTestDetector\TimeKeeper();

Event\Facade::registerSubscriber(new SlowTestDetector\Subscriber\TestPreparedSubscriber($timeKeeper));

$maximumDuration = SlowTestDetector\MaximumDuration::fromMilliseconds(500);

$collector = new SlowTestDetector\Collector\DefaultCollector();

Event\Facade::registerSubscriber(new SlowTestDetector\Subscriber\TestPassedSubscriber(
    $maximumDuration,
    $timeKeeper,
    $collector
));

$maximumCount = SlowTestDetector\MaximumCount::fromInt(10);

$reporter = new SlowTestDetector\Reporter\DefaultReporter(
    new SlowTestDetector\Formatter\ToMillisecondsDurationFormatter(),
    $maximumDuration,
    $maximumCount
);

Event\Facade::registerSubscriber(new SlowTestDetector\Subscriber\TestSuiteFinishedSubscriber(
    $collector,
    $reporter
));

❗ Currently, this is a bit verbose. @sebastianbergmann, @theseer, and I are going to meet to talk about how we can improve this.

Configuring maximum duration per test case

When necessary, you can configure the maximum duration for a test with a @slowThreshold annotation in the DocBlock.

This example configures the maximum duration for a single test to 5.000 ms:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use PHPUnit\Framework;

final class ExtraSlowTest extends Framework\TestCase
{
    /**
     * @slowThreshold 5000
     */
    public function testExtraExtraSlow(): void
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Running tests

When you have activated the extension, you can run your tests as usually:

$ vendor/bin/phpunit

When the extension has detected slow tests, it will report them:
