Use when writing/configuring tests on a non-Laravel PHP project — PHPUnit vs Pest. Do NOT use for Laravel test helpers or quality tooling (php-quality-tooling).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<objective> Covers testing a framework-agnostic PHP project with PHPUnit 13 (class-based, xUnit-style, attributes only — annotations like @test/@dataProvider were removed in PHPUnit 12) or Pest 5 (closure-based, expressive, adds browser/architecture/mutation testing, built on PHPUnit 13), both of which run on PHPUnit's engine and require PHP 8.4+. Includes a decision matrix for choosing between the two (team preference, not capability), plus templates for phpunit.xml, Pest.php setup, and test doubles (stubs, mocks, fixtures, coverage). Do NOT use this skill for Laravel test helpers such as RefreshDatabase or HTTP testing — those are covered by laravel-expert's laravel-testing skill. Do NOT use it for static analysis or formatting tooling — that is php-quality-tooling. </objective> # PHP Testing Two frameworks, one engine. Pest is a layer over PHPUnit — both need **PHP 8.4+** and share the same runner and assertions underneath. ## Agent Workflow (MANDATORY) Before ANY implementation, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one `Agent` call each with a `name`: 1. **fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase** - Detect existing framework (phpunit.xml vs Pest.php), test layout, PHP version …

How to install
mdr add fusengine/agents/php-testing@sha256:66118a42d7925f47The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.43a351c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
