Fix Broken Laravel Tests
Your test suite is broken. Tests fail randomly, nobody trusts them, people stopped running them. Time to fix the foundation.
Sound Familiar?
Tests pass locally, fail in CI
Random test failures (flaky tests)
Test suite takes too long to run
Tests break when database changes
Nobody runs tests anymore because they're unreliable
How I Can Help
Audit test suite for flaky tests
Fix database state and isolation issues
Remove brittle time-dependent tests
Speed up slow tests
Set up proper CI pipeline
Add missing critical path tests
Broken test suites are worse than no tests. They teach developers to ignore red builds, to bypass CI, to ship without confidence.
I fix the infrastructure first: proper database isolation, consistent test environments, no time-dependent flakiness. Then audit individual tests.
Flaky tests get fixed or deleted. Slow tests get optimized or moved to a separate suite. The goal is a test suite developers actually run and trust.
You end up with tests that catch bugs before production, not false alarms that get ignored.

What Clients Say
"Stu hired me and gave me a baptism of fire within AWS and infrastructure. Years later, I'm leading a DevOps team of eight. He's technically brilliant, but what I appreciated most was how he explained things - never made me feel stupid, always made time. We still help each other out regularly."
"One of the things most organisations struggle with is finding that 'bridge' type of resource — someone who can speak product, understand the business, and shape the technical flow for today while keeping an eye firmly on tomorrow. Stu, on multiple occasions where I've hired him over the last 15 years, has been that guy. His consultative skills — listening, challenging back, and shaping technical solutions around what he hears — are second to none. His time management and expectation-setting are spot on too. He'll tell you where the risks are in the new and the unknown, so you're never left biting your nails in the dark. He lives and breathes tech, early-adopts just for the hell of it, but never oversells anything until it's genuinely safe and ready to use."
"We needed a booking platform with a full API and mobile app. Agencies quoted six figures. Stu built the prototype, we got users on it, validated the concept. Now we're doing a full rebuild and it's still a fraction of agency prices. He actually ships."
