Pest, a simple & elegant testing framework for PHP that extends PHPUnit | Algolia

The article discusses the benefits of using the Pest Testing Framework, a robust testing framework built on top of PHP's standard testing library, PHPUnit. It highlights how Pest simplifies and reduces large testing code libraries by removing unnecessary namespace and library references, making it easier to maintain, understand, and debug. The article also explains how Pest allows for chaining functions, reducing the number of lines needed for tests, and provides more information per test compared to PHPUnit. Additionally, Pest supports "datasets" that allow for testing multiple data inputs at once, both inline and in external files. Finally, the article mentions additional features and options available with Pest, as well as its compatibility with actions before and after a test like setup in PHPUnit.
