Tricks

To use application the database is seeding with users :

• Administrator : email = admin@la.fr, password = admin
• Redactor : email = redac@la.fr, password = redac
• User : email = walker@la.fr, password = walker
• User : email = slacker@la.fr, password = slacker

Tests

When you want to launch the tests first rollback the database :

php artisan migrate:rollback

Then migrate and seed :

php artisan migrate --seed

You can then use PHPUnit
