Boomerang! consumes your API and validates your defined set of expectations, alerting you to any problems that arise. Boomerang! is still in active development and more info is coming soon! Documentation and more information is availible at Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.4+ with the CLI, cURL, SPL, and JSON extensions - A Unix-like environment (or Cygwin on Windows) Continuous integration tests PHP 7.4 through PHP 8.5. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Using composer, `boomerang` can be installed globally via: ``` $ composer global require 'boomerang/boomerang' ``` Or add it to the project you wish to test as a [vendor binary](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/vendor-binaries.md): ``` $ composer require --dev boomerang/boomerang ``` Development ----------- [](#development) ``` $ git clone https://github.com/donatj/Boomerang.git Boomerang $ cd Boomerang $ composer install ``` ### Basic Execution [](#basic-execution) The easiest way to test is simply using the composer executable. From the root of the cloned project, execute ``` $ ./vendor/bin/boomerang ``` ### Building a Phar [](#building-a-phar) You will need Composer to fetch the requirements ``` $ php create-phar.php ``` ### Health Score 45 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance56 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity37 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 95.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~178 days Recently: every ~276 days Total 20 Last Release 1189d ago Major Versions v0.3.0 → v1.x-dev2020-05-07 PHP version history (3 changes)v0.1.1-alphaPHP >=5.3.2 v0.2.0PHP >=5.4.0 v1.x-devPHP >=7.1.0 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/a57a02ba022451a54d4b65e227ce3d032cadc638a644c2d4b56f0313632ee656?d=identicon)[donatj](/maintainers/donatj) --- Top Contributors [![donatj](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/133747?v=4)](https://github.com/donatj "donatj (360 commits)")[![dependabot[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/29110?v=4)](https://github.com/dependabot[bot] "dependabot[bot] (11 commits)")[![Copilot](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/1143301?v=4)](https://github.com/Copilot "Copilot (3 commits)")[![bitdeli-chef](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3092978?v=4)](https://github.com/bitdeli-chef "bitdeli-chef (1 commits)")[![dependabot-preview[bot]](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/in/2141?v=4)](https://github.com/dependabot-preview[bot] "dependabot-preview[bot] (1 commits)")[![scrutinizer-auto-fixer](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6253494?v=4)](https://github.com/scrutinizer-auto-fixer "scrutinizer-auto-fixer (1 commits)") --- Tags api-testingphptestingtestingapi ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/boomerang-boomerang/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/boomerang-boomerang/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/boomerang-boomerang) ``` ### Alternatives [davidhsianturi/laravel-compass An elegant REST assistent for the Laravel framework. 1.3k85.5k](/packages/davidhsianturi-laravel-compass)[imbo/behat-api-extension API extension for Behat 1092.6M9](/packages/imbo-behat-api-extension)[fr3d/swagger-assertions Test your API requests and responses against your swagger definition 138880.9k5](/packages/fr3d-swagger-assertions)[sauce/sausage PHP version of the Sauce Labs API 67808.8k3](/packages/sauce-sausage)[shahghasiadil/laravel-bruno-generator Generate Bruno API collections from Laravel routes with automatic request body inference and environment support 262.0k](/packages/shahghasiadil-laravel-bruno-generator)[jkudish/plume X API v2 client for Laravel — facades, typed DTOs, test fakes, and user-scoped operations. 105.4k](/packages/jkudish-plume) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
