For a really long time, I was a professional C# developer and as time moved on I fell more and more in love with the language. However, I always loved looking beyond the horizon so to speak and because of that I also dabbled in frontend and became sort of a full stack developer with a backend focus.
Now a little while ago I decided that I wanted to pick up PHP again since the last time I really used it had been a pretty long while ago.
I discovered that when it came to Unit Testing, everyone was still relying on pretty much solely PHPUnit. And don't get me wrong, this is a Unit Testing framework that has stood the test of time and still remains one of the best Unit Testing Frameworks for PHP. It has become a staple for a reason and that's why MicroUnit is aiming to be "a fresh modern and different" solution focusing on simplicity, speed, and a zero-dependency philosophy, without sacrificing functionality and not "A competition to PHPUnit".
So I had a vision, I wanted to create a modern PHP Unit testing framework built from the ground up with PHP 8+ that had a modern bloat free syntax, leveraged the newest features, was insanely fast and built with zero dependencies.
So I coded everything from scratch, added all the basic features you could ask for, even going so far as to adding build in mocking, set up a GitHub pages documentation site and a great repo with an informative Readme.
With the project now being on its 6th beta release, I can say I am very proud of what it has become.
But of course it still has a long way to go and that's where I would really appreciate your help.
Maybe you could check out the project, try using it for unit testing one of your own projects, or if you feel especially motivated even contribute to it and help me bring this project one step closer to it's first stable release.
Any help and feedback and/or contribution would be so amazing !
