Which PHP testing frameworks are supported?

The skill uses general grep patterns compatible with PHPUnit, Pest, and other PSR-compliant testing frameworks.

How does it detect Mock Overuse?

It scans for instances of createMock or createStub and flags test cases where more than three mocks are utilized, suggesting a need for better test design.

Can it automatically fix the detected smells?

It identifies the smells and provides specific refactoring patterns; Claude can then be instructed to apply those fixes based on the generated report.

What is considered a 'High Severity' smell?

High severity smells include Logic in Test, Mock Overuse, Test Interdependence, and Fragile Tests, as these directly impact test reliability and results.
