Rule `php_unit_strict`¶

PHPUnit methods like assertSame should be used instead of assertEquals.

Warning¶

Risky when any of the functions are overridden or when testing object equality.

List of assertion methods to fix.

Allowed values: a subset of ['assertAttributeEquals', 'assertAttributeNotEquals', 'assertEquals', 'assertNotEquals']

Default value: ['assertAttributeEquals', 'assertAttributeNotEquals', 'assertEquals', 'assertNotEquals']

Default configuration.

--- Original
+++ New
 <?php
 final class MyTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
 {
     public function testSomeTest()
     {
-        $this->assertAttributeEquals(a(), b());
-        $this->assertAttributeNotEquals(a(), b());
-        $this->assertEquals(a(), b());
-        $this->assertNotEquals(a(), b());
+        $this->assertAttributeSame(a(), b());
+        $this->assertAttributeNotSame(a(), b());
+        $this->assertSame(a(), b());
+        $this->assertNotSame(a(), b());
     }
 }

With configuration: ['assertions' => ['assertEquals']].
