• Added API testing suite for Codeception
• Got Guzzle HTTP requests triggering the testing environment by setting headers and modifying core files. What a pain in the ass.
• Removed composer packages: phpunit, phpspec, behat, mink+extensions, debugbar, verify, specify
• All testing suites (unit, functional, integration, api) are now handled under a single tool umbrella
• Added BaseLaravelCest class to tests/_bootstrap.php for all Cest classes to extend. This base class handles creating and copying new instances of SQLite testing databases for each test scenario.
