Codeception
Quickstart Guide

Execute:

codecept bootstrap

This creates configuration file codeception.yml and tests directory and default test suites. Acceptance, functional, unit test suites are created as well.

Generate your first acceptance test. Acceptance tests emulate behavior of a real user visiting your site.

codecept generate:cest acceptance First

Codeception scenario tests are called Cepts.

Please make sure your local development server is running.  Put application URL into:  tests/acceptance.suite.yml 

actor: AcceptanceTester
modules:
    enabled:
        - PhpBrowser:
            url: {YOUR APP'S URL}
        - \Helper\Acceptance

It's now time to write your first test. Edit the file we've just created tests/acceptance/FirstCest.php

<?php
class FirstCest 
{
    public function frontpageWorks(AcceptanceTester $I)
    {
        $I->amOnPage('/');
        $I->see('Home');  
    }
}

It will check that your frontpage contains the word Home in it.

Tests are executed with 'run' command

codecept run --steps

This will execute our Welcome test with PhpBrowser. It's PHP script that can check HTML page contents, click links, fill forms, and submit POST and GET requests. For more complex tests that require a browser use Selenium with WebDriver module.
