Check Out These Sample Videos From Test Driven PHP
Creating Custom Test Helpers
We're doing everything from scratch in this course so let's create a test helper which will enable us to make 'requests' to our API.
Testing Request Objects
We're going to create our own Request class so let's test that the query params can be retrieved off of it. This will show you how some things work which we take for granted.
Faking Database Rows
Let me show you how you can fake a database row to keep your tests passing until you have created your tables. This way we are focused more on our public API and the database isn't calling the shots.
Database Test Assertions
Let's create our assertDatabaseHas method which will be able to assert that a table contains a particular record based on a set criteria. Some frameworks have already created methods like this for you but where's the fun in that? No microwavable pizzas in this kitchen...everything's made from fresh!
A Brief History Of This Bundle
Battle Ready Laravel was released in 2022 and made available on garyclarke.tech in July 2023, at a time when I was still working on Test Driven PHP.
Both resources share a similar feel in that they contain material which is relevant to PHP and Laravel developers but which is not easy to find in great depth or quality. They complement each other whilst retaining their own unique identity.
It just made perfect sense to bundle these together and hopefully open people up to learning new skills and trying new things...that's where the fun in programming lies

Ash Allen - Who am I?
Hey there! My name's Ash Allen!
I'm a Laravel web developer from the UK.
I've worked with many companies around the world to help build and improve Laravel applications that they can be proud of!
I wrote "The Clean Coder's Guide to Laravel" which has been downloaded more than 5k times, and I have an active blog where I write about Laravel and PHP. I've also had articles published on the Laravel News and Honeybadger blogs.
I have several PHP packages (such as Short URL and Laravel Exchange Rates) which have been installed over 350k times. I also love working on other open-source projects and have contributed to the Laravel framework.
Gary Clarke - Who am I?
Hello and thank you so much for checking out my work. My name is Gary Clarke and I'm a software developer with many years experience, primarily in PHP. I started creating video tutorials during lockdown in 2020 because I wanted the challenge of being able to explain complex / technical subjects to others in a way which is easy to understand and remember.
At this moment in time, my videos have been watched nearly half a million times and I intend to keep creating new and improved content and teaching more and more new people. It would be my pleasure to see you on the inside of one of my courses.
