Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers. ### Compatibility Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`. | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | Pass | Pass | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | Pass | Pass | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | 1 | 1 | ### Code Quality Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible. #### Static Analysis Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module. | Tool | Status | Findings | Summary | |---|---|---|---| | PHPCS | Warning | 14 | 14 warnings (ruleset: Magento2), 6 auto-fixable with phpcbf | | PHPMD | Warning | 18 | 18 rule violations (MissingImport:6, UnusedFormalParameter:5, UnusedPrivateMethod:2, ExcessiveMethodLength:1, IfStatementAssignment:1) | | Cpd | Warning | 2 | 2 duplicated chunks spanning 128 total lines (min-lines=5, min-tokens=70) | | Composer validate | Info | 3 | valid; 3 advisory notes (composer validate --strict) | #### PHPStan Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases. | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | 43 | 43 | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | 52 | 52 | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | 52 | 52 | ### Tests Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately. #### Unit Tests | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A | #### Integration Tests | Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – | | 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – | | 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A | ### Security Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright. | Tool | Status | Findings | Summary | |---|---|---|---| | Composer audit | Pass | 0 | | | Malware scan | Pass | 0 | | ## Licence and pricing Free.
