What's new in Pest
summary
Pest claims a simpler API, ships a plugin system and already reaches 10 million downloads while remaining compatible with PHPUnit; the demo shows the architectural plugin enforcing rules (detecting stray dd, requiring strict_types, controller suffixes, readonly/value object rules) with three-line tests. A new Stressless stress testing plugin runs programmatic benchmarks, reporting throughput and latency (examples: 65 ms average on a remote site, 3 ms with Octane, 250–500 req/s) and lets tests assert thresholds so failures surface in CI.
