+  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.
