LARAVEL Quality Control & Assurance 4

Question 1

What does `$this->actingAs($user, 'api')` do in a Laravel test?

Accepted Answer

Authenticates the user via the api guard for the test request

Answer

actingAs accepts an optional guard name so the test authenticates through that specific guard rather than the default web guard.

Question 2

Which Laravel testing helper checks that a Blade view was rendered with specific data in a unit test?

Accepted Answer

$this->view('view.name', $data)->assertSee()

Answer

The view() test helper returns a TestView instance on which you can call assertSee, assertViewHas, and similar assertions.

Question 3

In Laravel, which trait must be added to a test class to use model factories with the `create()` method via database interaction?

Accepted Answer

RefreshDatabase

Answer

RefreshDatabase (or DatabaseMigrations/DatabaseTransactions) ensures the schema is available so factory create() can persist records.

Question 4

Which Dusk method fills an input field identified by its name attribute?

Accepted Answer

type

Answer

Browser::type('field-name', 'value') locates an input by name and types the given value into it.

Question 5

What is the role of `Storage::fake('local')` in Laravel tests?

Accepted Answer

Replaces the local disk with an in-memory filesystem so no real files are written

Answer

Storage::fake creates a temporary local filesystem so tests can assert file operations without touching the real disk.
