+## Validation Assertions
+
+Laravel provides two primary validation related assertions that you may use to ensure the data provided in your request was either valid or invalid.
+
+<a name="validation-assert-valid"></a>
+#### assertValid
+
+Assert that the response has no validation errors for the given keys. This method may be used for asserting against responses where the validation errors are returned as a JSON structure or where the validation errors have been flashed to the session:
+
+    // Assert that no validation errors are present...
+    $response->assertValid();
+
+    // Assert that the given keys do not have validation errors...
+    $response->assertValid(['name', 'email']);
+
+<a name="validation-assert-invalid"></a>
+#### assertInvalid
+
+Assert that the response has validation errors for the given keys. This method may be used for asserting against responses where the validation errors are returned as a JSON structure or where the validation errors have been flashed to the session:
+
+    $response->assertInvalid(['name', 'email']);
+
+You may also assert that a given key has a particular validation error message. When doing so, you may provide the entire message or only a small portion of the message:
+
+    $response->assertInvalid([
+        'name' => 'The name field is required.',
+        'email' => 'valid email address',
+    ]);
