You could have a look at: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/http-tests#testing-json-apis

Example (add this in your unit test file):

$this->json('post', 'your/route')
     ->assertStatus(200)
     ->assertJson([
        'status' => 'OK',
     ]);

You can use assertJson() and other similar methods in Laravel 5.4:

 $this->json('put', 'api/some-url')
      ->assertStatus(200)
      ->assertJson([
          'status' => 'OK',
          'data' => [
              'id' => 5,
          ]
      ]);

https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/http-tests#testing-json-apis

In Laravel 5.3 and lower, JSON testing methods are different. Mostly used one is seeJson().

@flower usually you're expecting some specified data while testing response.
