Maybe you can try phpunit-watcher. https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/phpunit-watcher

First, to install phpunit-watcher with composer require spatie/phpunit-watcher --dev, and then, modify the composer.json to add an item in scripts property:

{
    "scripts" : {
        "test" : "./vendor/bin/phpunit-watcher watch --bootstrap vendor/autoload.php tests/"
    }
}

Then, you can run test cases with: composer test.

Sometimes, you should run composer run test --timeout=0, otherwise the process would be killed after 300 seconds.
