To write feature tests for Laravel Sanctum-authenticated APIs, you can use structured test-driven development workflows that generate HTTP requests and assert responses. This approach validates authorization logic and ensures robust code coverage before writing implementation code.

Yes, you can use Pest with PHPUnit for Laravel test-driven development. The workflow provides standardized configurations for both frameworks, enabling you to write unit and feature tests while guiding the Red-Green-Refactor cycle for controllers and models.

The best way to mock external services in Laravel tests is by utilizing database, mail, and queue fakes alongside model factories. This ensures consistent test data and isolates Eloquent models and HTTP controllers from external dependencies during test execution.

To generate model factories for Laravel testing workflows, follow an automated test-driven development approach that creates consistent test data. This allows you to build standardized configurations and write unit tests for Eloquent models before implementing the actual application logic.

Yes, test-driven development works for existing Laravel HTTP controllers by guiding the Red-Green-Refactor cycle. You can write feature tests for HTTP requests to ensure your existing controllers and authorization logic are correctly enforced without breaking current functionality.
