Sonar Plugins

Forum PHP Paris 2008 is on december.Two sessions are about PHP code analysis :

• Automatiser les rapports sur la qualité du code
• Static and Dynamic Analysis at Ning

I hope slides will be published.

Thanks to Sebastian Bergmann for the following details :

Both Apache Ant and Maven are used in the PHP world. We also have
Phing [1] which is a port of Apache Ant to PHP.

PHP_Depend [2] and PHP_CodeSniffer [3] calculate software metrics
such as Cyclomatic Complexity, NPath Complexity, and the likes.

PHP_Depend produces JDepend XML (and in the future PMD XML),
PHP_CodeSniffer produces Checkstyle XML.

PHP_CodeSniffer [3] performs a static code analysis for coding
standard violations, bug patterns, etc.

PHPUnit [4] has support for software metrics and can write violation
reports in PMD XML format. This feature does not belong into a unit
test framework, though, which is why it is currently moved out of
PHPUnit. In the future, PHP_Depend [2] will produce PMD-style logfile.
See [5] for details.

PHPUnit [4] produces unit test results in JUnit XML and code coverage
data in Clover XML as well as an HTML report of code coverage.

I would also like to comment as to not forget about Hudson and Bamboo when focusing on this project for continuous integration servers.

Simon already commented on the additional PHP packages that are typically fairly heavily utilized.

Is someone still working on this? Thanks!

Hi Sebastian, Julien has worked on it in May/June but currently this development seems frozen.

All of this works now
