What specific features or functions should be included in a PHP script for managing test statuses effectively?

When managing test statuses in a PHP script, it is important to include features such as the ability to set different statuses (e.g. pass, fail, pending), track the history of status changes, and generate reports based on test statuses. Additionally, having functions to update and retrieve test statuses easily will help streamline the testing process. 

```php
<?php

class TestStatusManager {
    private $statuses = ['pass', 'fail', 'pending'];
    private $statusHistory = [];

    public function updateStatus($testId, $newStatus) {
        if (in_array($newStatus, $this->statuses)) {
            $this->statusHistory[$testId][] = $newStatus;
            echo "Status updated successfully for test $testId";
        } else {
            echo "Invalid status provided";
        }
    }

    public function getStatusHistory($testId) {
        return isset($this->statusHistory[$testId]) ? $this->statusHistory[$testId] : [];
    }

    public function generateReport() {
        foreach ($this->statusHistory as $testId => $statuses) {
            echo "Test $testId: " . implode(', ', $statuses) . PHP_EOL;
        }
    }
}

// Example usage
$testManager = new TestStatusManager();
$testManager->updateStatus(1, 'pass');
$testManager->updateStatus(2, 'fail');
$testManager->updateStatus(1, 'pending');
$testManager->updateStatus(2, 'pass');
$testManager->generateReport();
```
This PHP script includes a `TestStatusManager` class with functions to update test statuses, retrieve status history, and generate a report. It demonstrates how to use these functions to manage test statuses effectively.
