Model factories can be used to insert test data into the database. See Laravel Documentation for more information. The only difference si the class your factory need to extend:

Create your factory, which must extend UserFrosting\Sprinkle\Core\Database\Factories\Factory;
You model need to use the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory trait;

Add newFactory method in your model, returning your factory:

 /**
  * Create a new factory instance for the model.
  *
  * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory
  */
 protected static function newFactory()
 {
     return UserFactory::new();
 }

Use the factory : $user = User::factory()->create();
