+Stopwatch is an essential [`phpunit/phpunit`](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit) extension for performance
+analysis!
+
+Gain invaluable insights into your code's execution time and call frequency during test runs. The extension is designed
+to elevate your code performance analysis. Track the execution time and frequency of any marked code segments to address
+performance bottlenecks with precision.
+You can identify performance bottlenecks (e.g., database cleanups or setup) or just monitor them over time. The
+extension will generate stopwatch reports for each test as well as a summary report at the end of the test run.
