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
"My previous developer wasn't delivering. Stu took over, didn't waste time on the mess - just rebuilt what mattered. Within a few months I had payments working and a real path to launch. No drama, just progress."
"Stu delivers. Quick turnaround, high quality, no fuss. He embeds into the team properly - standups, Teams, the lot - and he's been ahead of the curve on AI tooling, both in the apps we build and in how he works. Reliable, fast, and genuinely good to work with."
"I've worked with Stu for close to ten years now. What started as me mentoring him quickly became a genuine collaboration - he's grown into someone I trust completely with Laravel architecture and AWS infrastructure. When I need something done properly, he's still my first call. That says everything."
