PHP Unit Testing Examples

In this article we will just show few examples and guide lines for Unit Testing in Laravel applications.

There are two areas for testing:

1. Feature Tests : Full list of assertions
   
   

   //Running the test from your terminal
   
   vendor\bin\phpunit  //Laravel 10
   
   phpunit //Laravel 7
   
   
   
   //---------------------------------------------------------- EXAMPLE TESTS
   
   public function test_the_application_returns_a_successful_response(): void
   
       {
   
           $response = $this->get('/');
   
   
   
           $response->assertStatus(200);
   
       }
   
   
   
   public function test_that_true_is_true(): void
   
       {
   
           $this->assertTrue(true);
   
       }
   
   
   
   //----------------------------------------------------A list of possible testing methods
   
   //Full list of assertions are found here : https://phpunit-document-english.readthedocs.io/en/latest/assertions.html
   
   $response->assertStatus(200);
   
   $response->assertSee(''Laravel); //Will check if the response page has the text 'Laravel' on it
   
   $response->AssertDontSee('This text shall not be on the page to pass the test'); //Will check if the text is NOT there
   
   $this->assertTrue(true);​
