Additionally, Pest's console output is truly stunning and makes it effortless to spot any issues that arise. But the benefits don't end there - Pest also includes features such as built-in parallel testing, coverage, watch mode, architecture testing, native profiling tools, snapshot testing, and the most beautiful documentation in the world. </p> <hr class="from-transparent md:from-white/50 via-white/25 md:via-transparent to-transparent bg-gradient-to-r h-[2px] rounded border-0 mt-6"> </li> <li> <h5 class="text-2xl font-bold">Do I need to rewrite all my PHPUnit tests for Pest?</h5> <p class="mt-3 md:mt-1.5 text-gray-200"><b class="text-green">No need to rewrite your PHPUnit tests for Pest.</b> Pest is designed to be progressive.
