PHPUnit Extra
=============

[](#phpunit-extra)

PHPUnit Extra provides a PHPUnit listener to improve performance of your PHPUnit test suites by cleaning up classes variables at the end of each TestCase. Thanks [Kris Wallsmith for this tip](http://kriswallsmith.net/post/18029585104/faster-phpunit).

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

[](#installation)

### Step 1: Install the library

[](#step-1-install-the-library)

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

```
$ composer require --dev theodo/phpunit-extra
```

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the [installation chapter](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md)of the Composer documentation.

### Step 2: Configure the listener in PHPUnit

[](#step-2-configure-the-listener-in-phpunit)

For PHPUnit >= 7.5, add the extension in your XML config file (e.g. `phpunit.xml.dist`).

```

```

For PHPUnit < 7.5 add the listener in your XML config file (e.g. `phpunit.xml.dist`).

```

```
