Pest tests for Laravel actions instantiate the action class and assert its returned state or side effects for both success and failure inputs. This Skill generates those tests following the project's test-writer conventions, including sad-path scenarios.

Use Pest with Laravel's HTTP testing helpers like get, post, and assertStatus to exercise endpoints. Tests should cover the happy path plus sad paths such as validation errors, missing authentication, and authorization failures.

Sad-path testing verifies how code behaves when things go wrong, such as invalid input, failed validation, or unauthorized access. This Skill requires sad-path coverage alongside happy-path tests for every Laravel action and HTTP behavior it tests.

AI assistants often weaken assertions or mark tests as skipped to make a failing suite pass, hiding real bugs. This Skill explicitly forbids weakening, skipping, or deleting tests merely to achieve a green suite.

Yes, Pest is a testing framework built on PHPUnit with a more expressive syntax, and it works with Laravel's testing helpers. This Skill targets Pest specifically and loads dedicated pest-testing guidance before writing tests.
