PHPUnit or Pest? Which do you prefer?

This is a common question from people starting to write automated tests in PHP:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Should I use PHPUnit or Pest PHP?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've used both.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They both have pros and cons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're familiar with JavaScript and Jest, Pest would probably be a natural fit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're used to writing classes in PHP, PHPUnit may feel more familiar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use whichever appeals to you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe try both and see which you prefer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main benefit will be you have tests, whichever you decide to use.
