During 2025-01 for magento/ece-tools, delivered a comprehensive modernization of the PHPUnit test suite and transitional dependency-management work. Key outcomes include updating tests to replace deprecated withConsecutive patterns with callback-based mocks, standardizing mock expectations, and updating test configuration and static analysis hooks (PHPCS, PHPMD, PHPStan). Implemented a temporary dependency management approach and removed the deprecated FailedInfo extension to simplify the transition. Fixed unit test failures on PHP 8.1 and 8.2, addressed codesniffer and phpstan issues, and aligned PHPUnit configuration for future compatibility. The combined work enhances test reliability, CI stability, and prepares the project for smoother upgrades.
