Good stuff Jeroen. Thanks for sharing your hard learned lessons. I think it would be interesting to develop a basic PHPMD ruleset for use as a starting point for new projects or projects looking to tighten their automated checks. There is of course a lot of room for bikeshedding in something like this and each project should have the freedom to tweak the rules as they see fit. For any of you who haven't seen it yet, there is a bit of documentation on using the unmodified mediawiki-codesniffer rules via Composer on Manual:Developing_libraries [0]. Hashar and Krinkle are also working on a "standard" for setting up test entry points for various languages typically used in WMF hosted projects that should make moving from project to project a bit easier and let they simplify many of the current Jenkins jobs. I'm excited to more and more people thinking about how we can make testing easier and more automatic in our projects.
