Testing Guide

We use PHPUnit (via Laravel's Artisan command) for backend testing.

Running Tests

Run All Tests

To run the full test suite:

php artisan test

Run Specific Test File

php artisan test tests/Feature/ExampleTest.php

Filter Tests

Run tests matching a keyword:

php artisan test --filter=UserTest

Testing Strategy

1. Feature Tests

Located in tests/Feature. These test full HTTP requests and ensuring the application handles routes, controllers, and database interactions correctly.

  • Example: POST /login logs the user in.
  • Example: GET /books returns a list of books.

2. Unit Tests

Located in tests/Unit. These test individual methods or classes in isolation.

  • Example: Testing a custom Helper function.
  • Example: Testing a Model scope.

Coverage

We aim for good coverage of critical paths, especially:

  • Authentication & Authorization flows.
  • Book Loan logic (approvals, rejections).
  • Data integrity (Foreign key constraints).
