Question

Here is an example function that i'm trying to run.

{
    $schedule->call(function () {
        $tickets = Ticketit::where('created_at', '<', Carbon::now()->subDays(1))->where('is_notified', false)->get();

        foreach ($tickets as $ticket) {
            //sending mail
            $mail= $message->to('bonderi@strathmore.edu')->body('Your ticket is overdue');

        }
    })->hourly();
}

You should check out PHPUnit and testing. Maybe use Mockery for mocking objects. It is already included by default in Laravel 5.6. Everything can be found in the documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/testing
