Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Who tests the tests? Mutation testing with Infection in PHP
Obviously, we can not generate mutants manually. For that purpose, there are mutation testing utilities. For PHP, we have Infection.

Plugins: roave/infection-static-analysis-plugin: Static analysis on top of mutation testing - prevents escaped mutants from being invalid according to static analysis bitexpert/captainhook-infection: Captain Hook Plugin to run InfectionPHP only against the changed files of a commit

I created a package to encourage developers in my team to write tests. What do you think? Any feedback? Thanks!
If you want to enforce testing automatically probably the best option is to rely on mutation testing, using Infection. That doesn't just check that the tests cover the code, it checks that if the code was different to what it is then the tests would (usually) fail.

Collecting line, branch, and path coverage with PHPUnit
IMO code coverage is a very flawed metric on its own. A high percentage doesn't guarantee that the tests actually test the right things, and it would be much more efficient if mutation testing was used (e.g. Infection). It still uses the generated code coverage reports, but only as a base for its own metrics.

Am I writing the right kinds of (unit) tests? See below for an example. Thanks!
For your last edit - you can also add infection which will infect your code with other values, like if you expect a positive number, it will try and inject a negative number - and see what happens - does your code break everything or something. Also it will try to inject false where you might expect a true and many many other things, and yes you will get some weird results from infection, but its a good thing to look at, and atleast check the logs and see why the infection failed at a test.
- I'm looking for "complex" or "advanced" topics that don't get enough coverage

Codewars Kata. It uses 100 random tests for a boolean.
The only one that I've used is infection for PHP.

Verify your true code coverage by removing lines of PHP code, see if it affects PHPUnit results
That's practically a light form of mutant testing. Have you checked Infection?

Enforcing module boundaries in a large php app
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.

The use of `class` for things that should be simple free functions (2020)
>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.
