description: Write focused controller tests using HTTP assertions; keep heavy logic in Actions/Services and unit test them
Controller Tests
Feature tests for endpoints
it('rejects empty email', function () {
$this->post('/register', ['email' => ''])->assertSessionHasErrors('email');
});
Better tests
- Move validation to Form Requests; assert errors from the request class
- Extract business logic into Actions; unit test them directly
- Use factories for realistic data; avoid heavy mocking
