How do I implement TDD in a Laravel application?▼

Testing Laravel APIs involves making HTTP requests and asserting JSON responses. You can use PHPUnit or Pest to test controllers and JSON APIs, leveraging Laravel factories to efficiently generate the required test data.

How do I test authentication in Laravel using Sanctum or Passport?▼

Testing authentication in Laravel requires verifying protected routes using Sanctum or Passport. You can authenticate test users via HTTP tests and assert access to guarded endpoints works correctly.

Does this Laravel testing guidance support both PHPUnit and Pest?▼

Yes, this Laravel testing guidance supports both PHPUnit and Pest. It provides comprehensive strategies for unit and feature testing, covering model factories, authentication, mocking, and coverage across both frameworks.

How do I use Laravel factories for test data creation?▼

Laravel factories generate test data by defining model attributes. You use them during testing to efficiently populate databases with dummy data, ensuring your tests run against a consistent state.

What is the best way to mock external services in Laravel tests?▼

Mocking external services in Laravel tests involves using fakes to simulate API responses and system components. This isolates your application logic during testing, preventing external network calls from affecting test reliability.
