Prophecy is a highly opinionated yet powerful and flexible PHP object mocking framework. Originally built for phpspec2, it works with any PHP testing framework, including PHPUnit, with minimal setup.
Use cases
- mock objects in phpunit tests
- create test doubles for php classes
- stub method calls in php tests
- verify predicted behavior of collaborators
- mock interfaces and extend classes in tests
When to choose
- you write PHP tests and need expressive, fluent mocking
- you use phpspec or PHPUnit and want predictable test doubles
- you need to mock interfaces, extend classes, or check call predictions
When to avoid
- you need mocking in a non-PHP language
- you prefer simple anonymous-class stubs over a mocking DSL
