Easy to use architecture testing tool for PHP

Introduction 📜

PHP Architecture Tester is a static analysis tool to verify architectural requirements.

It provides a natural language abstraction to define your own architectural rules and test them against your software. You can also integrate phpat easily into your toolchain.

There are four groups of supported assertions: Dependency, Inheritance, Composition and Mixin.

Installation 💽

Just require phpat with Composer:

composer require --dev carlosas/phpat

Configuration 🔧

You might want to setup a basic configuration:

# phpat.yml
src:
  path: src/
tests:
  path: tests/architecture/

This is the complete list of options:

src path: The root path of your application.
src include: Files you want to be tested excluding the rest (default=all).
src exclude: Files you want to be excluded in the tests (default=none).
tests path: The path where your tests are.
options verbosity: 0/1/2 output verbosity level (default=1).
options dry-run: true/false report failed suite without error exit code (default=false).
options dependency ignore_docblocks: true/false ignore dependencies on docblocks (default=false).

Test definition 📓

There are different ways to choose which classes will intervene in a rule (called Selectors) and many different possibles assertions (called RuleTypes). Check the complete list of both here:

This could be a test with a couple of rules:

<?php

use PhpAT\Rule\Rule;
use PhpAT\Selector\Selector;
use PhpAT\Test\ArchitectureTest;
use App\Domain\BlackMagicInterface;

class ExampleTest extends ArchitectureTest
{
    public function testDomainDoesNotDependOnOtherLayers(): Rule
    {
        return $this->newRule
            ->classesThat(Selector::haveClassName('App\Domain\*'))
            ->excludingClassesThat(Selector::implementInterface(BlackMagicInterface::class))
            ->canOnlyDependOn()
            ->classesThat(Selector::havePath('Domain/*'))
            ->andClassesThat(Selector::haveClassName('App\Application\Shared\Service\KnownBadApproach'))
            ->build();
    }
    
    public function testAllHandlersExtendAbstractCommandHandler(): Rule
    {
        return $this->newRule
            ->classesThat(Selector::havePath('Application/*/UseCase/*Handler.php'))
            ->excludingClassesThat(Selector::extendClass('App\Application\Shared\UseCase\DifferentHandler'))
            ->andExcludingClassesThat(Selector::includeTrait('App\Legacy\LegacyTrait'))
            ->andExcludingClassesThat(Selector::haveClassName(\App\Application\Shared\UseCase\AbstractCommandHandler::class))
            ->mustExtend()
            ->classesThat(Selector::haveClassName('App\Application\Shared\UseCase\AbstractCommandHandler'))
            ->build();
    }
}
