Learn To Test Laravel Projects Like the Pros

Testing Laravel

Real-World Testing with Laravel


This course shows you how to test Laravel applications the way they’re built in real life using a combination of feature tests, unit tests, and Pest’s expressive syntax to cover everything that matters.


You’ll learn how Laravel’s built-in testing tools make it easy to simulate requests, validate output, fake queues, and test complex workflows without hitting external systems.


We cover things like:

  • Testing form submissions and validation errors
  • Uploading and processing CSV files in tests
  • Faking queued jobs to assert dispatches
  • Writing focused unit tests for individual logic
  • Keeping your test suite fast, clean, and reliable


Each lesson is driven by a real scenario, from subscribing to a mailing list in real time, to importing a CSV of subscribers and processing each row via async jobs.


By the end, you’ll understand how to test real Laravel features with confidence, and you'll have a toolkit you’ll want to use in every future project.

What We Will Test + Rendering the View

In this lesson, we kick off our Laravel testing journey by building a simple subscription form. We also take a moment to preview the kinds of tests we'll be writing for this feature later in the course.

Email Confirmation Testing

When it comes to sending emails, we don’t want our tests to actually send them.
Instead, we want to verify that the correct Mailable would be queued - and that it contains the right details.

Browser Testing

When you need to verify full UI interactions like confirming that a page renders correctly, JavaScript behaves as expected, or elements are visible in the DOM, it might be time to consider a browser test.

Queueable Jobs

In this lesson, we take the next big step in our bulk import flow: instead of processing each subscriber row directly in the controller, we dispatch a queueable job for each one.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

(Please email me at [email protected] with any questions. We reply within 48 hours)

Q. Do I need to be a Laravel expert to take this course?
A. Not at all. As long as you’ve built a basic Laravel app before, you’ll feel right at home. The example projects are simple and easy to follow, but the testing techniques apply to real-world Laravel apps of any size.



Q. Is this course beginner-friendly?
A. If you’re already comfortable with Laravel, yes. But if you're brand new to testing, you might prefer the full Testing PHP course, which introduces testing fundamentals first and then dives into both Laravel and Symfony projects.



Q. What exactly do we build and test in the course?
A. We test two real-world features: a simple form that triggers real-time actions, and a bulk CSV upload that processes rows using queued jobs. You'll test everything from validation and file uploads to database inserts and outbound HTTP requests - the way it’s done in real apps.



Q. Is this just theory, or do we write real tests?
A. It’s 100% hands-on. You’ll write feature tests, unit tests, and test real Laravel features like file uploads, queued jobs, and third-party API calls. No dry theory or abstract examples - every test serves a real purpose.



Q. Will I have lifetime access?
A. Yes, your one-time payment gives you permanent access to the course - including all future updates. No subscriptions. No upsells. Just everything you need in one place.



Q. Who is this course for?
A. Laravel developers who want to write reliable, maintainable tests for their applications. Whether you’re new to testing or want to level up your approach, this course will give you the tools and confidence to test your Laravel code the right way.

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 over 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.
