Testing ''is '' software development. Software development is writing code. Testing makes sure the code actually works, so in a nutshell: '''Testing is software development''' :-)
Software development is writing code. Testing makes sure the code actually works, so in a nutshell: One major aspect of testing - especially '''Testing is software developmentduring''' :-)== Phan ==see development and the [[Continuous Integration]] process, is [[Phanstatic analysis]].<blockquote>Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!<ref>https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edsger_W._Dijkstra</ref>

PHPStan seems more polished (perhaps because it's commercial and has a 'pro' version that adds a GUI) whereas phan is the original PHP static analysis tool Rasmus Ledorf uses. Adding a configuration file for your MediaWiki extension is straightforward and would look like this:<syntaxhighlight lang="yaml">parameters: level: 1 paths: - src - tests scanDirectories: - ../../includes - ../../tests/phpunit - ../../vendor</syntaxhighlight> The * [[https://phpstan.org/user-guide/rule-levels level can be 0 - 9Software Quality]] The paths are the directories of '''your code.''' The scanDirectories are additional paths used to discover symbols, but not analyze for errors. For more advanced usage, see * [[Ansible#Testing|Ansible [https://github.com/ProfessionalWiki/Maps/blob/ee88211fadb3573b646cce005383450e96c3054e/phpstan.neon the example of Professional Wiki's Maps extensionTesting]]] which illustrates configuration file includes of a 'baseline'; error message suppression; and directory exclusions of problem code. ===Psalm===https://psalm.dev/ <references />
