Test cases
----------

[](#test-cases)

The package includes three test cases:

- `TestCase` - Effectively the normal Laravel test case. Use it the same way you would your normal Laravel test case
- `SimpleTestCase` - Extends the default PHPUnit test case, so it doesn’t set up a Laravel application, making it quicker and well-suited to properly isolated unit tests
- `BrowserKitTestCase` - Sets up BrowserKit
