Behaviour Driven Development with Laravel

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Shows a concrete BDD workflow: discovery, formulation, automation with real examples and one surprising claim — clients accept far fewer rewrites. Uses Behat with Gherkin feature files stored under features, stubs steps via vendor/bin/behat, boots Laravel in a FeatureContext, refreshes the DB per scenario, and passes numeric args into step methods. Demonstrates a ride‑matching example (van vs car), recommends TDD for services in a double-loop workflow and mentions Mink for JS-driven scenarios.
