BookStack has many integration tests that use Laravel's built-in testing capabilities which makes use of PHPUnit. There is a `mysql_testing` database defined within the app config which is what is used by PHPUnit. This database is set with the database name, user name and password all defined as `bookstack-test`. You will have to create that database and that set of credentials before testing.
-The testing database will also need migrating and seeding beforehand. This can be done with the following commands:
+The testing database will also need migrating and seeding beforehand. This can be done by running `composer refresh-test-database`.
-``` bash
-php artisan migrate --database=mysql_testing
-php artisan db:seed --class=DummyContentSeeder --database=mysql_testing
-```
-
-Once done you can run `composer test` in the application root directory to run all tests.
+Once done you can run `composer test` in the application root directory to run all tests. Tests can be ran in parallel by running them via `composer t`. This will use Laravel's built-in parallel testing functionality, and attempt to create and seed a database instance for each testing thread. If required these parallel testing instances can be reset, before testing again, by running `composer t-reset`.
