These are issues that hinder testability, such as:

- references to global variables, super globals, etc
- calls to functions that can't be mocked (like static methods or global functions)
- `new` instances of objects (tight coupling - can't be mocked/injected)
- ...and much more

Kudos to the brilliant [PHP-Parser](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser/) (by nikic) on which PHP\_Testability relies heavily.
