Dr. Strangetest
===============

[](#dr-strangetest)

This is the source code for Dr. Strangetest, a testing framework for PHP.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

If you are looking to use Dr. Strangetest in your project, please refer to [the website](https://gnarlyquack.github.io/dr-strangetest-website/) for installation instructions and other documentation.

Installation for Development
----------------------------

[](#installation-for-development)

If you're interested in hacking on the source code, these steps will get you set up with a development environment.

Although Dr. Strangetest itself runs on PHP 5.3 and newer, the code base uses [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/) for static analysis, so your version of PHP must be current enough for PHPStan.

1. Clone the source repository to your local computer:

    git clone
2. Use Composer to install development requirements:

    ```
    $ composer install

    ```
3. You'll probably want to start by running Dr. Strangetest's test suite and ensuring it passes. [(GNU) Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) is used to automate this process:

    ```
    $ make

    ```

    The default target runs PHPStan on the code base:

    ```
    $ composer exec -- phpstan analyze

    ```

    and then runs Dr. Strangetest's self-test suite:

    ```
    $ ./bin/strangetest

    ```
