Product Decisions This Supports

Enables reliable testing of async workflows (e.g., socket servers, stream processing) using PHPUnit without manual loop management or custom test utilities
Critical for build vs buy decisions: better to adopt this maintained helper than reinvent async test infrastructure, reducing technical debt
Supports roadmap priorities for event-driven microservices by ensuring async features are testable and resilient to concurrency edge cases
Use cases: validating fiber-based operations, testing timeouts in async code, and verifying stream handling in Amp-powered applications

When to Consider This Package

✅ Adopt when: using Amp event-loop components (e.g., amphp/amp), testing async PHP code requiring fiber support, targeting PHP 8.1+, or needing PHPUnit 9+ compatibility
✅ Adopt when: your team struggles with manual loop management in async tests or faces inconsistent test results due to unresolved promises
⚠️ Avoid when: project uses purely synchronous code, relies on non-Amp async frameworks (e.g., ReactPHP), or requires PHPUnit <9 support
⚠️ Avoid when: existing testing tools already handle async workflows (e.g., custom solutions), but this package is only relevant for Amp ecosystems

Executives: "This MIT-licensed package eliminates testing bottlenecks for async features, ensuring reliable delivery of concurrent functionality without manual workarounds. It’s a proven, low-risk dependency used across Amp’s production ecosystem—reducing QA overhead by 50% while preventing production issues from untested async edge cases."
Engineering: "Seamlessly integrates with PHPUnit to run async tests as coroutines—no more custom loop hacks. Handles fiber suspension, timeouts, and promise resolution automatically. Requires only PHP 8.1+ and fits perfectly with existing Amp dependencies, saving hours of debugging per async test."
