If you’re a WordPress plugin developer, you’ve likely had rough experiences getting your test suite set up and configured correctly.

The process is a pain and brittle:

• You spin up a local copy of WordPress
• You wrestle with WP_UnitTestCase
• You bootstrap a fake database
• You hope Your GitHub actions are set up correctly

WordPress testing feels like surgery because it was never designed to be tested in isolation.

Instead, testing in Laravel is almost effortless in comparison.

php artisan make:test spins up an already configured test suite, and you’re ready to start writing tests the way you expect. 

Whether you’re using Pest or default PHPUnit, you’re writing tests with raw PHP—not testing the whole framework.

Need a user with three posts and a specific role? User::factory()->has(Post::factory()->count(3))->create(). Done.

With Laravel testing becomes fast, so you test more.

You test more, so you catch bugs earlier.

You catch bugs earlier, so you ship with confidence.
