testing manual testing vs automated testing TDD as my goto way Testing in laravel Some usual tests

unless you're a hardcode tester, you wouldn't consider the helpful tests as required. Nevertheless, you wouldn't lose much trying it out. The effort / gain ratio is good. At times, I had my route:list broken (because of some refactoring) but I wouldn't know about it

- automated testing so I rely 100% on it
- test but remember your tests are code which means your tests can contain bug more often you would imagine.
- random thought: write tests that cover the tests that test the code... Don't know if that exists but that is not for me.
