Boot your tests with codeception. Write bdd style acceptance, functional tests very easy.

1. Testing with
CODECEPTION
“boot your tests in PHP is a real pain”
Adam Štipák | @new_POPE

2. Testing tools
● PHPUnit [https://phpunit.de/]
● NetteTester [http://tester.nette.org/en/]
● Simpletest [http://www.simpletest.org/]
● Testify.php [http://tutorialzine.com/projects/testify/]
● etc ...

3. Testing tools
Yes, they are really cool,
but it is a little problem here.

4. Problem
LOW LEVEL

5. How can I set up other things?
● Selenium tests
● API tests
● Functional tests
● Access to DB for check a state or setup prerequisities
● Data cleanup
● and many, many things...

6. You can set up it manually,
but WHY???

7. Just try CODECEPTION

8. Features
● very fast setup
● Unit (powered by PHPUnit)
● API (REST, SOAP, XML-RPC)
● Functional (Symfony2, Laravel, Yii, Zend)
● Acceptance (PhpBrowser, Selenium)
● Db (Db, Doctrine 1 & 2)
● BDD - style readable tests
● Modules & Addons !!!

9. Very fast setup - installation
$ bin/composer.phar require “codeception/codeception:*”
$ vendor/bin/codeception bootstrap
$ .../codeception generate:cept acceptance Welcome

10. Very fast setup - write a test
// /tests/acceptance/WelcomeCept.php
$I = new AcceptanceTester($scenario);
$I->wantTo('ensure that frontpage works');
$I->amOnPage('/');
$I->see('Home');

11. Very fast setup - configure
// /tests/acceptance.suite.yml
class_name: AcceptanceGuy
modules:
enabled: [PhpBrowser, AcceptanceHelper]
# WebDriver instead of PhpBrowser for Selenium
config:
PhpBrowser:
url: '{YOUR APP'S URL}'

12. Very fast setup - run
$ vendor/bin/codeception run
Suite acceptance started
Trying to ensure that frontpage works (WelcomeCept.php) - Ok
Suite functional started
Suite unit started
Time: 1 second, Memory: 21.00Mb
OK (1 test, 1 assertions)

13. API - config
class_name: ApiTester
modules:
enabled: [PhpBrowser, REST, ApiHelper]
config:
PhpBrowser:
url: http://serviceapp/
REST:
url: http://serviceapp/api/v1

14. API - test
$I = new ApiTester($scenario);
$I->wantTo('create a user via API');
$I->haveHttpHeader('Content-Type',
'application/json');
$I->sendPOST('/users', ['name' => 'davert']);
$I->seeResponseCodeIs(201);
$I->seeResponseIsJson();
$I->seeResponseContains('{"result":"ok"}');

15. Db - config
modules:
enabled: [Db]
config:
Db:
dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb'
user: 'root'
password: ''
dump: 'tests/_data/dump.sql'
populate: true
cleanup: false

16. Db - test
$I->haveInDatabase('users', ['name' => 'miles']); //*
// $I->dontSeeInDatabase
$I->seeInDatabase('users', [
'name' => 'Davert',
'email' => 'davert@mail.com'
]);
