This project provides a composer package and a Phar archive with an extension for detecting slow tests in phpunit/phpunit.

The extension is compatible with the following versions of phpunit/phpunit:

Installation

Installation with `composer`

Run

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

to install ergebnis/phpunit-slow-test-detector as a composer package.

Installation as Phar

Download phpunit-slow-test-detector.phar from the latest release.

Usage

Bootstrapping the extension

Before the extension can detect slow tests in phpunit/phpunit, you need to bootstrap it. The bootstrapping mechanism depends on the version of phpunit/phpunit you are using.

Bootstrapping the extension as a PHAR

To bootstrap the extension as a PHAR when using

phpunit/phpunit:^7.5.0

     </testsuites>
 </phpunit>

Configuring the extension

You can configure the extension with the following options in your phpunit.xml configuration file:

maximum-count, an int, the maximum count of slow test that should be reported, defaults to 10
maximum-duration, an int, the maximum duration in milliseconds for a test before the extension considers it as a slow test, defaults to 500

The configuration mechanism depends on the version of phpunit/phpunit you are using.

Configuring the extension

To configure the extension when using

phpunit/phpunit:^6.5.0

adjust your phpunit.xml configuration file and configure the

arguments element on phpunit/phpunit:^6.5.0

The following example configures the maximum count of slow tests to three, and the maximum duration for all tests to 250 milliseconds:

 <phpunit
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit.xsd"
     bootstrap="vendor/autoload.php"

     </testsuites>
 </phpunit>

Configuring the maximum duration per test case

You can configure the maximum duration for a single test case with

an Attribute\MaximumDuration attribute when using
- phpunit/phpunit:^10.0.0
- phpunit/phpunit:^11.0.0
a @maximumDuration annotation in the DocBlock when using
- phpunit/phpunit:^6.5.0
- phpunit/phpunit:^7.5.0
- phpunit/phpunit:^8.5.19
- phpunit/phpunit:^9.0.0
a @slowThreshold annotation in the DocBlock when using
- phpunit/phpunit:^6.5.0
- phpunit/phpunit:^7.5.0
- phpunit/phpunit:^8.5.19
- phpunit/phpunit:^9.0.0

The following example configures the maximum durations for single test cases to 5.000 ms, 4.000 ms, and 3.000 ms:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use PHPUnit\Framework;
use Ergebnis\PHPUnit\SlowTestDetector;

final class ExtraSlowTest extends Framework\TestCase
{
    /**
     */
    #[SlowTestDetector\Attribute\MaximumDuration(5000)]
    public function testExtraExtraSlow(): void
    {
        // ...
    }

    /**
     * @maximumDuration 4000
     */
    public function testAlsoQuiteSlow(): void
    {
        // ...
    }

    /**
     * @slowThreshold 3000
     */
    public function testQuiteSlow(): void
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Note

Support for the @slowThreshold annotation exists only to help you move from johnkary/phpunit-speedtrap. It will be deprecated and removed in the near future.

Running tests

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

vendor/bin/phpunit

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

Understanding measured test durations

When using

phpunit/phpunit:^6.5.0
phpunit/phpunit:^7.5.0
phpunit/phpunit:^8.5.19
phpunit/phpunit:^9.0.0
the extension uses the hooks event system of phpunit/phpunit.

The hooks event system supports eleven hook methods that phpunit/phpunit invokes during the execution of tests.

When the extension uses the hooks event system, it uses the PHPUnit\Runner\AfterTestHook, which receives the duration of invoking PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare() and more.

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods before the first test method in the class:

PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUpBeforeClass() and methods annotated with @beforeClass

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods before every test method in the class:

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods after every test method in the class:

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods after the last test method in the class:

PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::tearDownAfterClass() and methods annotated with @afterClass

Note

Because of this behavior, the measured test durations can and will vary depending on the order in which phpunit/phpunit executes tests.

When using

phpunit/phpunit:^10.0.0
phpunit/phpunit:^11.0.0

the extension uses the new event system of phpunit/phpunit.

The new event system supports a wide range of events that phpunit/phpunit emits during the execution of tests.

When the extension uses the new event system, it uses and subscribes to the PHPUnit\Event\Test\PreparationStarted and PHPUnit\Event\Test\Finished events and measures the duration between the points in time when phpunit/phpunit emits the former and the latter.

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods before the first test method in the class:

PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::setUpBeforeClass() and methods annotated with @beforeClass

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods before every test method in the class:

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods after every test method in the class:

When phpunit/phpunit invokes PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::runBare(), it will invoke the following methods after the last test method in the class:

PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase::tearDownAfterClass() and methods annotated with @afterClass

Note

Because of this behavior, the measured test durations can and will vary depending on the order in which phpunit/phpunit executes tests.
