Imagine a world where your PHP codebase can be checked for all the bugs without even writing testcases – doesn’t this sound the BEST!? Here is where PHPStan comes to our rescue. An opensource Static Analysis tool to check for the bugs in the entire PHP codebase without writing tests! It can run directly on your setup as well as in CI to detect and prevent the bugs reaching production.

Join me in this talk as I take you through PHPStan, how it is legacy friendly, helps eliminate the tricky bugs, its extensions for Symphony, Laravel; and much more!

Good overview for those of us who haven't used or read about PHP Stan.

Good information and helpful tips. Could be slowed down a little bit. Expand upon the levels during the talk (rather than at the end).

A bit of a rushed high level overview of the tool, more of a sales pitch to use it than an introduction to how to use it. A good chunk of the content never felt like it got tied back into PHPStan in any way. (And a few slides felt dated… for example the list of functions that included ones deprecated in php7 and removed in php8.0.

I appreciate the presenter's effort to cover the material, however, I felt that the presentation did not delve as deeply into the topic as I had hoped. I never used this tool before and was hoping to understand why this tool over another, or real use cases in the workplace.

The presenter powered through the slides and told everyone to hold questions until the very end.

We had a full hour, and she wrapped up at the 35 minute mark.
