Summary

In this chapter, we learned about state-of-the-art tools to assist you in creating high-quality PHP code. They will help you spot issues early in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which saves you vast amounts of time. The PHP community is still vivid and very productive, and we were not able to cover all the fantastic software that exists out there in this book. However, with the tools we introduced in this chapter, you are now well equipped for your journey towards clean code.

In the next chapter, you will learn about how to evaluate code quality by using the established metrics and, of course, the necessary tools to gather them. See you there!
