ParaTest is a CLI tool that runs PHPUnit test suites in parallel across multiple processes. It requires zero configuration and can combine code coverage reports from all parallel workers into a single report.

Use cases

speed up slow phpunit test suites by running tests in parallel
run phpunit tests across multiple cpu cores
combine code coverage reports from parallel test processes
parallelize tests by testcase or by individual test method
give each parallel test process its own database via TEST_TOKEN

When to choose

you have a large PHPUnit suite that takes too long to run sequentially
you want parallel testing with no extra bootstrap or configuration
you need merged code coverage from parallel test runs

When to avoid

your project uses an older PHPUnit version, since only the latest is supported
your tests are not isolated and share state like databases or files
you use a testing framework other than PHPUnit
