We'll begin by setting up a fresh Laravel application and pulling in Cypress. We'll eventually require a variety of Laravel-specific helpers for logging in, seeding a database, triggering an Artisan command, and more. So with that in mind, we'll also pull in a Composer package of mine that I use in all my Laravel apps.

Often in this series, we'll use BDD to drive our applications. However, the reality is that you'll often find yourself filling in tests after the fact. With that in mind, let's work with the actual Laracasts codebase and fill in a series of end-to-end tests for the site's login modal.
