        <parameter name="otel_collector_url" value="http://localhost:4318"/>
        <parameter name="emit_traces" value="true"/>
        <parameter name="emit_metrics" value="true"/>
        <parameter name="emit_test_spans" value="false"/>

#Configuration Parameters

#Features

#Traces

When enabled, the extension creates spans for:

• Test suite runs (root span)
• Individual test suites
• Test case classes (optional)
• Individual tests (optional)

Each span includes attributes like:

• test.suite - Test suite name
• test.id - Test identifier
• test.name - Test name
• test.class - Test class name
• test.method - Test method name
• test.status - Test result status (passed, failed, errored, skipped, incomplete)

#Metrics

When enabled, the extension records:

• phpunit.suite.duration - Histogram of suite execution time
• phpunit.suite.test_count - Counter of tests per suite
• phpunit.test.duration - Histogram of individual test execution time
• phpunit.test.count - Counter of tests by status

#Running with Docker Compose

To visualize test telemetry, run an OTEL collector with a backend like Jaeger:

services:
  otel-collector:
    image: otel/opentelemetry-collector:latest
    ports:
      - "4317:4317"   # OTLP gRPC
      - "4318:4318"   # OTLP HTTP
    volumes:
      - ./otel-collector-config.yaml:/etc/otelcol/config.yaml

  jaeger:
    image: jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
    ports:
      - "16686:16686" # UI

Then run your tests:

./vendor/bin/phpunit

View the traces in Jaeger at http://localhost:16686.
