Pest tests for backend logic should be separated by intent: pure unit tests stay isolated with mocked dependencies, while database integration tests use specific test case bases to verify central or tenant schema behaviors.

Tenant-aware integration testing is needed when verifying tenant database schemas and repository rules. You use a specific tenant test base to ensure migrations and data behaviors apply correctly within isolated tenant boundaries.

Keep Pest unit tests fast by mocking repositories, services, and facades instead of triggering real database schema changes or persistence. This ensures logic-only code paths execute without database overhead.

Yes, this approach supports multi-tenant PHP applications by classifying test intent and applying the correct tenant test base. It verifies IntegrationTenant migrations and tenant-specific database schema expectations accurately.

Start by writing a focused Pest test for a small unit of domain logic without touching the database. Expand it into an IntegrationTenant test when you need to verify tenant rules and repositories interacting with the database.
