The PHP Test Framework for Freedom, Truth, and Justice

Kahlan is a full-featured Unit & BDD test framework a la RSpec/JSpec which uses a describe-it syntax and moves testing in PHP one step forward.

Kahlan allows to stub or monkey patch your code directly like in Ruby or JavaScript without any required PECL-extentions.

Features

  • describe-it syntax similar to modern BDD testing frameworks
  • Code Coverage metrics (xdebug or phpdbg required)
  • Handy stubbing system (mockery or prophecy are no longer needed)
  • Set stubs on your class methods directly (i.e allows dynamic mocking)
  • Ability to Monkey Patch your code (i.e. allows replacement of core functions/classes on the fly)
  • Check called methods on your classes/instances
  • Built-in Reporters (Terminal or HTML reporting through istanbul or lcov)
  • Built-in Exporters (Coveralls, Code Climate, Scrutinizer, Clover)
  • Extensible, customizable workflow
