pest

Pest is a command line tool designed for testing PHP applications. It follows the Arrange, Act, Assert (AAA) testing structure. Pest provides a simple, expressive, and fluent syntax for writing tests. It allows you to write tests using PHP itself, making it easy to read and write. Pest can run tests faster by utilizing parallel testing. It supports testing both HTTP endpoints and console commands. Pest comes with a rich set of assertions for all common PHP scenarios. It includes helpful error messages and stack traces to aid in debugging. Pest allows for test-driven development (TDD) by focusing on writing tests before the actual code. It integrates well with frameworks like Laravel, providing additional features and conventions.
