PHPUnit 13, released February 2026, introduces two new parameter set matchers that replace the long-removed withConsecutive() method. The new withParameterSetsInOrder() verifies that a mocked method receives parameters in a specific sequence, while withParameterSetsInAnyOrder() verifies all expected parameter sets were used regardless of order. Both eliminate the verbose willReturnCallback() workarounds developers had to use since PHPUnit 10 removed withConsecutive(). The implementation uses a ParameterSetMatcher interface integrated with InvocationMocker, providing cleaner state tracking and better failure messages. Migration from callback-based workarounds is straightforward, and the change removes a major barrier to upgrading from older PHPUnit versions.

Better than withConsecutive()
