Generate PHP code coverage without Xdebug

Question

I'm using Xdebug to get some coverage data during my unit tests, but it costs a lot of time (and memory).

Is there any way to get coverage without using Xdebug?

but it costs a lot of time hopeflully you have a DEV-stage (or server) and not running test on PROD-stage (or server) ;-) Also you can group tests, to not always run all tests at once. — JustOnUnderMillions

As of PHP 7, you can use PHPDBG instead of Xdebug to collect code coverage information with PHPUnit. However, there will always be a resource penalty (time and memory) when code coverage information is collected.

Since 2023: PHPDBG is no longer supported by php-code-coverage, you need PCOV or Xdebug 3 now.
