@uses

@uses

The @uses annotation specifies code which will be executed by a test, but is not intended to be covered by the test. A good example is a value object which is necessary for testing a unit of code.

/**
 * @covers BankAccount::deposit
 * @uses   Money
 */
public function testMoneyCanBeDepositedInAccount()
{
    // ...
}

This annotation is especially useful in strict coverage mode where unintentionally covered code will cause a test to fail. See the section called “Unintentionally Covered Code” for more information regarding strict coverage mode.
