PHPUnit @covers tags validator
PHPUnit fails to generate coverage report when tests have invalid @covers tags.
This tool allows you to determine the tests that have invalid @covers tags without you needing to run the coverage.
Usually coverage reports are run less often than the tests as it takes a long time to run. This tool validates your @covers tags quicker than you run your tests.
