phpunit

What problem does it solve?

Establishes a clear, consistent set of PHPUnit conventions for Laravel projects, helping teams write reliable, maintainable tests.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structure tests with Feature tests in tests/Feature and Unit tests in tests/Unit.
• Feature tests should use RefreshDatabase when touching the database; Unit tests run without Laravel bootstrap.
• Use test_ prefix with snake_case names and a void return type.
• Prefer assertSame over assertEquals for strict type/value checks and assert specific values.
• Every new model should have a corresponding factory in database/factories and tests should use factories instead of manual create/insert.
• Use factories with states to cover variations and edge cases.

Quick Start

Run phpunit to execute your Laravel tests and verify feature, unit, and factory conventions.
