I’m excited to see serverless PHP usage is growing, even if just by a tiny bit this year! PHP is so perfectly suited for the serverless model. I'm excited for what the future holds there.

Which testing frameworks do you regularly use?

Zuzana Kunckova

Founder of @larabellesPHP

I find it very interesting that 31% of developers don't write tests for PHP. This has gone down from 33% last year, but it's still one-third of respondents who don't write PHP tests. I guess they like to live life on the edge!
