PHPUnit Accelerator
===================

[](#phpunit-accelerator)

What I found is that PHPUnit is really hard to debug memory with, because it in itself keeps a lot of objects in memory before actually starting any test so the initial memory is jumping depending by the number of tests available - it creates a new test class instance for each test, so UserTest having 1k test declarations/function will result in 1k UserTest class instances before it actually starts processing them, which I'd say is more of a inefficiency from the PHPUnit side, the more tests you have the higher the starting memory will be.

Inspired by [Kris Wallsmith faster PHPUnit article](http://kriswallsmith.net/post/18029585104/faster-phpunit), we've created a [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de) test listener that speeds up PHPUnit tests about 20% by freeing memory.

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

[](#installation)

To install this library, run the command below and you will get the latest version

```
composer require zhukovsergei/phpunit-accelerator --dev
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Just add to your `phpunit.xml` configuration

```

```

### Ignoring Tests

[](#ignoring-tests)

Sometimes it is necessary to ignore specific tests, where freeing their properties is undesired. For this use case, you have the ability to *extend the behaviour* of the listener by implementing the `IgnoreTestPolicy` interface.

As an example, if we hypothetically wanted to ignore all tests which include "Legacy" in their test filename, we could create a custom ignore policy as follows

```
