Unit Testing solution for developers
About PHPUnit
PHPUnit requires the dom and json extensions, which are normally enabled by default. PHPUnit also requires the pcre, reflection, and spl extensions. These standard extensions are enabled by default and cannot be disabled without patching PHP’s build system and/or C sources. The code coverage report feature requires the Xdebug (2.7.0 or later) and tokenizer extensions. Generating XML reports requires the xmlwriter extension. Unit Tests are primarily written as a good practice to help developers identify and fix bugs, to refactor code and to serve as documentation for a unit of software under test. To achieve these benefits, unit tests ideally should cover all the possible paths in a program. One unit test usually covers one specific path in one function or method. However a test method is not necessarily an encapsulated, independent entity. Often there are implicit dependencies between test methods, hidden in the implementation scenario of a test.

Qodo
Qodo (formerly Codium) analyzes your code and generates meaningful tests to catch bugs before you ship. Qodo maps your code’s behaviors, surfaces edge cases, and tags anything that looks suspicious. Then, it generates clear and meaningful unit tests that match how your code behaves. Get full visibility of how your code behaves, and how the changes you make affect the rest of your code. Code coverage is broken. Meaningful tests actually check functionality, giving you the confidence needed to commit. Spend fewer hours writing questionable test cases, and more time developing useful features for your users. By analyzing your code, docstring, and comments, Qodo suggests tests as you type. All you have to do is add them to your suite. Qodo is focused on code integrity: generating tests that help you understand how your code behaves; finding edge cases and suspicious behaviors; and making your code more robust.

dotCover
dotCover is a .NET unit testing and code coverage tool that works right in Visual Studio and in JetBrains Rider, helps you know to what extent your code is covered with unit tests, provides great ways to visualize code coverage, and is Continuous Integration ready. dotCover calculates and reports statement-level code coverage in applications targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono for Unity, etc. dotCover is a plug-in to Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider, giving you the advantage of analyzing and visualizing code coverage without leaving the code editor. This includes running unit tests and analyzing coverage results right in the IDEs, as well as support for different color themes, new icons and menus. dotCover comes bundled with a unit test runner that it shares with another JetBrains tool for .NET developers, ReSharper. dotCover supports continuous testing, a modern unit testing workflow whereby dotCover figures out on-the-fly which unit tests are affected by your code changes.

Early
Early is an AI-driven tool designed to automate the generation and maintenance of unit tests, enhancing code quality and accelerating development processes. By integrating with Visual Studio Code (VSCode), Early enables developers to produce verified and validated unit tests directly from their codebase, covering a wide range of scenarios, including happy paths and edge cases. This approach not only increases code coverage but also helps identify potential issues early in the development cycle. Early supports TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python languages, and is compatible with testing frameworks such as Jest and Mocha. The tool offers a seamless experience by allowing users to quickly access and refine generated tests to meet specific requirements. By automating the testing process, Early aims to reduce the impact of bugs, prevent code regressions, and boost development velocity, ultimately leading to the release of higher-quality software products.
