## What it is
A Symfony bundle that isolates Doctrine database tests by wrapping DBAL drivers with a StaticDriver and using a PHPUnit extension to begin and roll back transactions around each test. It also configures a static array cache for metadata and queries to speed up and reduce memory usage of test suites.

## Use cases
- speed up symfony doctrine test suite
- isolate database tests with transaction rollback
- avoid rebuilding schema or fixtures before every test
- cache doctrine metadata between kernel boots in tests
- run phpunit tests against a shared database state safely

## When to choose
- you have a Symfony app using Doctrine DBAL/ORM and PHPUnit
- your test suite is slow due to schema rebuilds or fixture re-imports per test
- you want per-test database isolation without reseeding data

## When to avoid
- your tests rely on DDL statements that implicitly commit transactions
- you are not using Symfony or Doctrine DBAL
- you need tests to observe committed data across separate processes or connections

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: testing, database, orm
- domain: testing, web-development, databases, developer-tools
- platform: php, cli
- tags: symfony-bundle, doctrine, phpunit, transaction-rollback, test-isolation, test-performance
