Standardizes PHPUnit testing patterns and best practices for robust, containerized PHP application testing.
This skill provides comprehensive guidance for implementing PHPUnit testing standards across any PHP project, regardless of the framework. It enforces consistent test class structures, method naming conventions, and proven patterns like AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) and Given-When-Then. Beyond basic assertions, it covers advanced topics such as data providers, test doubles (mocks and stubs), and code coverage requirements. A key focus is placed on Docker-based test execution to ensure environmental consistency and eliminate 'it works on my machine' errors, making it an essential resource for developers building reliable, production-grade PHP services.
