How do you test your code ?

In that regard, someone posted symfony's test suite as an example of good PHPUnit testing. The first file I clicked on demonstrated how worthless (IMO) unit testing can be: https://github.com/symfony/http-kernel/blob/v6.0.8/Tests/CacheClearer/ChainCacheClearerTest.php

• Pest

  Pest is an elegant PHP testing Framework with a focus on simplicity, meticulously designed to bring back the joy of testing in PHP.

  

Once you're comfortable with PHPUnit (Unit Testing and TDD) the next step is BDD (Behaviour-Driven Development). For this Behat is a good starting point. But my favourite was always Codeception because it has PHPUnit included and does everything (unit tests, functional test, integration tests). The only awkward part ro both of these is installing selenium (at least on windows) Pest is also becoming very popular among the Laravel community, but it will work with anything https://pestphp.com/
