FAQPage Schema
How do I start test-driven development in Laravel using Pest PHP?

To start test-driven development in Laravel, write a failing Pest test for your new feature, run it to confirm failure, implement the minimal code to pass, and then refactor for clarity. This RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle reduces debugging time.

What Laravel components can I test using a TDD workflow?

A Laravel TDD workflow targets controllers, models, services, API routes, migrations, and form validation logic. It provides structure for testing these components across both unit and feature test scopes.

When should I use factory-based testing and database migrations in Laravel?

Use factory-based testing and database migrations when structuring feature tests in Laravel to ensure a clean database state. These Laravel-specific patterns provide rapid feedback during the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle.

Does this TDD workflow support both unit and feature tests in Laravel?

Yes, this TDD workflow provides structure and conventions for both unit and feature tests within Laravel ecosystems, guiding how to appropriately scope tests for controllers, services, and API routes.

What is the best way to structure tests for Laravel API routes and validations?

The best way to structure tests for Laravel API routes and validations is by following the test-first RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, using Pest PHP to write failing tests that cover API endpoints and form validation logic before implementation.

Why should I adopt a test-first workflow when building Laravel applications?

Adopting a test-first workflow when building Laravel applications reduces debugging time and increases code quality by enabling rapid feedback through structured RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycles using Pest PHP.
