While testing often tests and acceptance criterias are used wrongly in an interchangeable way.

However, they are not the same thing, do not serve the same purposes and knowing their difference will prevent making some mistakes.

PHPStan is one of the base tools for a PHP developer as it helps a lot to double check types are coherent in the application.

However, by using it this way you are passing aside of its key features, sharing knowledge.

A couple of weeks ago I did an interview with a candidate for a PHP developer position and I was sincerely feeling he was dreaming about working with people with good practices but he was also stuck in a company with poor ones and he didn’t build any real competence that would make him standout from other candidates.
