On the Laravel News site there's a new post sharing a list of Laravel testing resources and package that you can use for your Laravel-based applications to make testing easier and less work overall.

Testing code is one of the more challenging parts of programming, but luckily Laravel and some other tools are making it easier than ever. Research has even shown implementing a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach can significantly reduce the number of bugs that make it to production. Testing provides many other benefits, like the freedom to refactor large parts of a system without (as much) fear of breaking things.

With all of the benefits of testing, it’s still challenging to continually test applications. If you are looking to start learning how to test Laravel applications or you want to expand your skills here is a list of great resources to help you.

Included in their list are resources like the official documentation, Laravel Dusk, the Laracasts Laravel Behat extension, the phpspec Laravel extension and Spatie Laravel packages. Each item on the list includes a screenshot, a brief description of the resource/tool and links to get more information about it.
