## What it is
A Symfony component providing utilities for PHPUnit, most notably management and reporting of user deprecation notices. It also offers ClockMock, DnsMock, and ClassExistsMock helpers, parallel test running, and polyfills for running tests across multiple PHPUnit versions.

## Use cases
- track and report php deprecation notices in my test suite
- mock time and clock functions in phpunit tests
- run phpunit tests in parallel
- make my test suite compatible with multiple phpunit versions
- mark legacy tests that trigger deprecations
- mock dns resolution in tests
- fail tests when deprecated code is used

## When to choose
- you maintain a PHP library or Symfony app and want visibility into deprecation usage
- you need deterministic tests for time-, DNS-, or class-existence-sensitive code
- you want one test setup that works across several PHPUnit versions

## When to avoid
- you are not using PHPUnit for testing
- you need a general-purpose mocking framework for arbitrary classes rather than native function mocks

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: testing, e2e-testing, mocking, logging
- domain: testing, developer-tools
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
- tags: phpunit, deprecation-notices, symfony, clock-mocking, dns-mocking, test-utilities, composer, php
