To shorten the code a bit you can replace
`Artisan::call('db:seed');`
With
`$this->seed();`

It's only a small reduction, but still something

Excellent video about tests! Thank you Povilas

The MenuService definitely needs refactoring. All those conditions make it hard to read and should be moved to separate methods like `$group['is_new'] = $this->isNewGroup($group);`.

Sorry sir, I have issues doing tests with SQlite I'm getting error: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 Cannot add a NOT NULL column with default value NULL (SQL: alter table "users" add column "employee" varchar not null). Something happens when migrations' mutations is launched on SQlite.

Hi. Sorry for my query here regarding your Quickadminpanel as I could not find any suitable contact me page on your site. My query is that can I use this product if I have an existing Laravel 8 project with a database ? Actually I have a older database and wanted to build the laravel project over it, but could not find any suitable/workable solution on the net. You have a plugin to import 'csv' file. Can I use that for my existing database ( with data ) ? Kindly advice.

I wanted to see if I could refactor some of your tests but I had trouble setting up the environment because of laravel-spark. Do you know if there is a way to pass a dummy username/password when installing it or obtain testing credentials?

what if we're not using blade and livewire (using vue for example) and we wanna test the front-end menus and so on, do you recommend testing with laravel as an api or using some front-end testing library or maybe laravel dusk for browser testing ?
