Deptrac VS ParaTest

Deptrac

Deptrac: Keep your architecture clean.

So far I've found some tools which I could piece together to accomplish enforcing module boundaries, probably run as part of an automated github action. - https://github.com/qossmic/deptrac Uses YAML to define any boundary, you can also use @internal to hide implementation classes. Seems like a good way to achieve what I want.

How about https://qossmic.github.io/deptrac/ ?

>I wonder: Is automatic DI even helpful? You save some lines of boilerplate but sacrifice control over the initialization-order and get a flat, messy, implicit dependency graph

Initialization order doesn't matter if your services are stateless. At least in our codebase, all of them are stateless, as it greatly simplifies reasoning about concurrent code (both in-process and between servers). Yes, it's easy to end up with a very a convoluted dependency graph under the hood, but I don't think it's a problem you really should care about. I mean, your code most likely already compiles to a very convoluted mess of machine code under the hood (with all the optimizations, ABI quirks etc.) and I doubt it matters to you much, as long as it does its job well and doesn't hinder your productivity.

If you are talking about messy dependency graphs from the architectural standpoint (someone can easily add a dependency in the constructor without thinking about the consequences), we use deptrac for our PHP monolith which can validate your architecture is clean at build time [0]

However, for our microservices written in Go, we decided to use manual DI to stimulate developers to prefer simpler design, otherwise our microservices could quickly turn to monoliths again.

Deptrac is a static code analysis tool for PHP that helps you communicate, visualize and enforce architectural decisions in your projects.

I haven’t tried it with the MySQL-connection, I use the in-memory version, but paratest (https://github.com/paratestphp/paratest) has never failed me. Not an answer to your question, but an answer to your problem I guess.

Pretty sure it has always supported multiple cores, judging by the documentation of the underlying library :

paratest

Paratest: Parallel testing for PHPUnit

Once you have lots of tests, use https://github.com/paratestphp/paratest with this I can run 3100 tests in about 3 seconds (on a 4core box using 16 threads).
