For many years we've relied on Travis to run the tests of our packages. For projects we used Circle CI. Recently we moved this responsibility from Travis and Circle CI to GitHub actions. In this blogpost I'd like to explain why and how we did this.

Testing your Laravel app using GitHub actions
Mattias Geniar explains how you can use GitHub actions to run the testsuite of your Laravel app.
Last year we wrote a blogpost about our setup we use for Oh Dear! with Gitlab, and how we use their pipelines for running our CI tests. Since then, we've moved back to Github since they introduced their free private repositories. In this post I'll describe how we re-configured our CI environment using Github Actions.

Implementing event sourcing: testing aggregates original
Earlier this year we released v2 of laravel-event-sourcing. This package is probably the easiest way to getting started with event sourcing in Laravel. A significant feature of v2 was the addition of aggregates.
Today we released another new version of the package that adds test methods. These methods allow you to verify if the aggregate behaves correctly. In this post, I'll show you an example and explain how the test methods are implemented.
These test methods were inspired by the awesome testing methods Frank De Jonge made in his Eventsauce package.
Start testing your Laravel applications
Jason McCreary wrote an epic blogpost on how to get started with tests in a Laravel app. I wish I could have read this when I started out with testing.
This brings me to the next common response, we don’t know where to start testing. This comes in two forms. The first form is quite literally we don’t know which test to write first. The second form is more not knowing how to write the first test. ... Today, I want to focus on getting started with testing your Laravel applications.

Your first performance budget with Lighthouse
Ire Aderinokun, Front-End Developer and User Interface Designer, explains how you can Lighthouse in CI.
Until recently, I also hadn't setup an official performance budget and enforced it. This isn’t to say that I never did performance audits. I frequently use tools like PageSpeed Insights and take the feedback to make improvements. But what I had never done was set a list of metrics that I needed the site to meet, and enforce them using some automated tool.

Tests and types
My colleague Brent wrote another excellent blog post, this time on tests and types.
So while strong types can help us to ensure program correctness, some tests will always be a necessity to ensure business correctness. It's a matter of "both and", not "either or".

Tidying Up Your PHPUnit Tests with Data Providers
Over at the Tighten blog, Chris Trombley published a new post on how to use data providers in PHPUnit.
PHPUnit gives us a way to consolidate this common logic while varying our setup data, without losing the benefit of dedicated, smaller test methods. In this post, we'll explore PHPUnit's data providers. While data providers are available in any PHPUnit test suite, let's look at how they can help us tidy up our tests in a Laravel application.
