I want to seed database when I use this 

 public function run()
{
    $users = factory(app\User::class, 3)->create();
}

Add three user in database but when I use this 

 public function run()
{
    $Comment= factory(app\Comment::class, 3)->create();
}

Show me error

[InvalidArgumentException]
Unable to locate factory with name [default] [app\Comment].

Some times it could be due to importing the wrong TestCase

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase; [WRONG: and throws this error]

use Tests\TestCase; [CORRECT]
