I've seen projects where even the dockerfiles, docker-compose, etc., are in an entirely different repo, and you could run the project in dev with anything (your own docker images, symfony cli, frankenphp, etc.).

However, there is still something about the tests that is very specific:

Do you have a CI? Do you deploy your project to production if the test suite fails, locally or in the CI?

If you do, tests are just information, metadata about the "current estimated safety" of the project.

If you need tests/CI to be green before deploying, this means that your tests ARE a necessary part of your project, same for the testing framework the tests use.
