Building a good REST API is crucial to security, reliability, and maintainability. How can you ensure the quality of your REST API? Use a good development pattern!

We all know that code quality is extremely important in the development process, but how can you be sure that your code has it? Manual testing is essential, but for large-scale software deliveries, it may not be enough.

When you're working with a REST API, it's very important to guarantee that the data you're receiving match some defined rules and will not break the system. How do we do this? Meet Laravel's request validation tool. 

Do you write unit tests for your code? If you don't, you should. Unit tests are a fast, inexpensive, and efficient tool that helps guarantee code quality.
