Structura can integrate architecture testing with PHPUnit:

Inspiration
-----------

[](#inspiration)

StructuraPHP is the result of current tools failing to meet, or only partially meeting, our needs as an architecture testing tool.

Our design and features are heavily inspired by the following tools:

- [ArchUnit](https://github.com/TNG/ArchUnit): for rules
- [Arkitect](https://github.com/phparkitect/arkitect): for rules, independence, full php,
- [Deptract](https://github.com/deptrac/deptrac): for rules
- [Pest Architecture](https://pestphp.com/docs/arch-testing): for rules, function names, output format,
- [PhpUnit](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/): for test classes, flags,
- [Phpat](https://github.com/carlosas/phpat): for rules.

 Bus Factor1

Top contributor holds 100% 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.
