Mission
-------

[](#mission)

Enable fast feedback cycles by storing test case results in a database and reorder tests on consecutive runs in the following order:

1. Failures and errors
2. So far unrecorded tests
3. Remaining tests by execution time in ascendant order (fastest first)

It’s probably not yet very stable but try it out.

### What it does

[](#what-it-does)

Run a test suite once with errors

```
PHPUnit 3.7.28 by Sebastian Bergmann.

.............................................FSFS..............  63 / 280 ( 22%)
............................................................... 126 / 280 ( 45%)
............................................................... 189 / 280 ( 67%)
............................................................... 252 / 280 ( 90%)
.........................

```

Rerun that test suite and see how the previous failing tests have been sorted to the beginning of the test run:

```
PHPUnit 3.7.28 by Sebastian Bergmann.

FSFS...........................................................  63 / 280 ( 22%)
............................................................... 126 / 280 ( 45%)
............................................................... 189 / 280 ( 67%)
............................................................... 252 / 280 ( 90%)
.........................

```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

add the following line to your projects' composer.json `require-dev` section.

```
"lstrojny/phpunit-clever-and-smart": "0.*"
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

To play around with it, add this to your `phpunit.xml(.dist)`

```

```

you might alter the location of the sqlite storage file, by passing a path to the Sqlite3Storage class:

```

                        /my/path/to/.phpunit-cas.db

```

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

- Test it with as many test suites as possible
- Stabilize
- Merge into PHPUnit core
