What problem does it solve?

It reduces uncertainty and regressions by forcing you to define expected behavior with a failing test before writing Laravel code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Laravel-first TDD cycle: RED → verify RED → GREEN → verify GREEN → REFACTOR, iterated until the behavior is correct and maintainable.
• Framework-specific test patterns: Feature tests, database verification with RefreshDatabase, authorization checks, and API testing with auth guards.
• When to use: Apply to new Laravel features and bug fixes such as controllers, models, services, endpoints, validation, policies, queues, middleware, and Artisan commands.

Quick Start

Write a minimal Pest test for the Laravel feature you want to implement, run the test to confirm it fails, then write the smallest Laravel code needed to make it pass.
