Code coverage testing

php.internals

Hi all. I've started poking/hacking around in the Zend source trying to implement code coverage statistics for php files. The end goal is to build php with a coverage option, place it on a test server, run test suites, then see which lines of code in which files were hit (more importantly which ones weren't). Very similar to gcov for those familar with gcc. Am I re-inventing the wheel? Does this already exist? Thanks, Mike

I believe xDebug supports this, and there's a worked example in my book. George

It does. When using PHPUnit2 with XDebug you get information about which lines of code are covered by which unit test, etc.
