[](#h4ccphpqatools-)

This is a composer meta package for installing PHP Quality Assurance Tools with only one dependency. Only stable packages are used, to keep the configuration easy and secure.

Included in this package are:

- PHPUnit
- PHP-Invoker
- DbUnit
- PHPLOC
- PHPCPD
- PHP\_Depend
- PHPMD
- PHP\_CodeSniffer
- Fabien Potencier/PHP Coding Standards Fixer
- Sensiolabs/Security-Checker
- Behat

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

The installed tools are available in vendor/bin/ and can be started like this:

```
php vendor/bin/phpmd
```

Installation
============

[](#installation)

To use this package, add it as as "dev" dependency with this command:

```
composer require h4cc/phpqatools --dev
```

Or modify your composer.json as followed:

```
require-dev: {
  "h4cc/phpqatools": "*"
}
```

More info about development dependencies:

Versioning
==========

[](#versioning)

This package will be updated, when newer or other stable packages become available. Fell free to suggest tools if they are missing.

To avoid problems you may not use composer version constraints like this "~1.1". Such a constraint will always upgrade to the newest "1.\*" version which might break your toolchain. In such a case, simply stick to a minor-version like "1.2.\*".

Todo
====

[](#todo)

A phing or task buildfile may be included someday. I hope some more tools get available in stable versions, so i can add them here.
