PHP UK Conference 2017 - Damien Seguy - Static Analysis Saved My Code Tonight

This talk covers the role of static analysis tools in the PHP development process, emphasizing their ability to review code without execution. The speaker discusses how these tools enforce good practices, maintain code readiness for upcoming PHP versions, and leverage PHP 7's advancements such as Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) and return types to enhance code auditing. Attendees will learn about the current capabilities of static analysis tools, the types of issues they can identify including security vulnerabilities and migration incompatibilities, and how to effectively integrate these tools into their development cycles to promote better PHP coding.
