Introducing PEST: a delightful PHP Testing Framework
summary
A lightweight test runner that sits on top of PHPUnit and is installable via Composer, Pest presents a concise API (no classes or boilerplate), an expectation API and higher‑order testing for chaining, inline and file data sets, a generated pest.php config to map folders to framework TestCases, in-console coverage with CI thresholds, a parallel testing mode that halves runtime in the demo (6s → 3s), and a PhpStorm plugin; the project reports about 2 million downloads and ~6% market share.
