Pest – An Elegant PHP Testing Framework

Whether you’re a PHPUnit user, or looking for a testing framework that fits your needs, Pest PHP is a great choice. It has a clean interface over top of PHPUnit, and provides great reporting. It’s also compatible with Laravel BrowserKit Testing, making it easy to unit test Laravel applications.

Pest is also a framework-agnostic testing framework, meaning it works with any PHP project. It supports PHP 8, PHPUnit, and Codeception. In addition to its elegant interface, it provides useful helpers, such as readable stack traces and readable errors.

If you don’t have an existing test suite, you can create one with the composer command. The command will also install the Pest PHP mock plugin, which lets you stub out methods from an apiservice.

Pest is easy to read, and provides great support for testing in Laravel. Pest also has a symfony/phpunit-bridge package, which makes it easy to test Symfony applications. If you want to learn more about Pest, check out its GitHub repository, where you can find the complete code.
