Testing is software development.
Software development is writing code. Testing makes sure the code actually works, so in a nutshell: Testing is software development :-)
Phan is a static analyzer for PHP. Phan project on GitHub It will help you write better PHP7 code. You'll need the Abstract Syntax Tree generated by PHP. You can read a tutorial for how to get Phan working in your project
The MediaWiki project uses Phan. See the article Continuous_integration/Phan

Static Analysis of MediaWiki[edit | edit source]
For some current analysis see https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/phpmetrics/complexity.html
The on-wiki documentation and even the upstream projects do not exactly provide a usable guide for MediaWiki extension developers to actually use Phan. If you download MediaWiki and composer update (to get dev dependencies) and also install PHP-AST, then you should be able to run composer phan or ./vendor/bin/phan -p . But, that analyzes the entire MediaWiki codebase, and does not analyze your extension (unless you specifically add a proper .phan/config.php file to your extension).
Mark Hershberger provides a good example of what that might look like in his CommentStreams configuration
<?php
$cfg = require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/mediawiki/mediawiki-phan-config/src/config.php';
$extensions = [ "Echo", "SocialProfile" ];
// Assume this extension exists in a directory with a bunch of other extensions that may, or may not be, $IP/extensions
$extDir = realpath( __DIR__ . "/../.." );
$dirList = array_filter(
array_map( fn ( $dir ): string => "$extDir/$dir", $extensions ),
fn ( $dir ): bool => is_dir( $dir )
);
$cfg['directory_list'] = array_merge( $cfg['directory_list'] ?? [], $dirList );
$cfg['exclude_analysis_directory_list'] = array_merge(
$cfg['exclude_analysis_directory_list'] ?? [], $dirList
);
$cfg['suppress_issue_types'][] = 'PhanUndeclaredConstant';
return $cfg;
the more traditional form of that[1] is
$cfg = require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/mediawiki/mediawiki-phan-config/src/config.php';
$cfg['directory_list'] = array_merge(
$cfg['directory_list'],
[
'../../extensions/Echo',
'../../extensions/SocialProfile',
]
);
$cfg['exclude_analysis_directory_list'] = array_merge(
$cfg['exclude_analysis_directory_list'],
[
'../../extensions/Echo',
'../../extensions/SocialProfile',
]
);
return $cfg;
