Load Testing Laravel Applications with PHPUnit and VoltTest
· 8 min read
With VoltTest 1.2.0, you can now run load tests directly inside PHPUnit — no external scripts or configuration required.
VoltTest was built to make load testing simple and native for PHP developers, and this new release takes it one step further. You can now test your Laravel APIs under load using the same PHPUnit environment you already use for your feature and unit tests.
TL;DR
VoltTest 1.2.0 lets you run load tests directly inside PHPUnit — same test runner, same CI pipeline, with assertions for success rate, P95 latency, and error rate to catch performance regressions automatically.
