How to convert a PHPUnit Testsuite to Pest

Original – Sep 27th 2021 by Freek Van der Herten – 2 minute read

While recording videos for the Testing Laravel video course, I became a big fan of Pest, a test runner that tries to optimize the developer experience. I'm now using Pest as the default for testing new packages and projects.

I've also converted a couple of existing testsuites from PHPUnit to Pest. Luckily, this is a very easy process. In this video I'll show you how to get started. You'll see that it only takes a couple of minutes.

Instead of doing the conversion manually, you could opt to let Laravel Shift convert a PHPUnit testsuite to Pest automatically.

On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.

Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.

Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
