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
