Laravel v5.5.20 was tagged yesterday with some testing assertions, route updates, and Blueprint time precision. Multiple changes and fixes were also merged, see the full release notes for details.
Among the new features, some TestResponse methods were added for convenience around validation and asserting JSON responses:
The assertJsonMissingExact() method, related to the assertJsonMissing() method, fails when all of the JSON attributes exist in the response.
