Autotest equivalent for PHP?

I have been using autotest for unit testing in ruby. Is there an equivalent for PHP that will run my unit tests after my code has been updated? I am using PHPUnit and Eclipse.

I use the entr command for this kind of task. It receives a list of files and runs the given command when one of the file changes.

Example:

find src test -name "*.php" -type f | entr phpunit

The good thing about entr is that it's language- and command-agnostic, I can use it for phpunit, JavaScript unit test, linting, etc. Also, compared to watchr, I only have to install one command instead of a ruby runtime.

I use grunt and grunt-phpunit to watch my application and run the tests when I change the files.

You could use watchr to watch your directory and run phpunit whenever a file changes.
