Laravel 5 RESTful API with Basic Auth: PHPUnit Testing

I’ve been using PHPUnit to test my RESTful API. PHPUnit is ready to use in Laravel.

I’m gonna show you how to create a PHPUnit test for this kind of JSON API data in Laravel 5.

To create a test case, use this command:

This will create a new test case named ApiUsersTest.php in your directory /tests

Paste the following code in it.

Edit the test case as needed.
