Testing PHP (Laravel and Symfony Edition)

Learn how to test PHP code with confidence This updated course covers everything from writing unit tests in plain PHP using PHPUnit to testing full-featured Laravel and Symfony applications. You'll start with the basics: writing your first test, using assertions, working with mocks and stubs, and understanding test structure. Then you'll move on to framework-powered testing with tools like Pest, HTTP test helpers, and container-based feature tests. This edition is mostly text-based (with some video explainers) and includes a downloadable eBook so you can follow along offline or use it as a reference. Whether you're testing pure PHP, Laravel apps, or Symfony services, you'll finish this course with a solid foundation for writing reliable, maintainable tests.
