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

Problem

LOW LEVEL

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...

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

Just try CODECEPTION

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 !!!

Very fast setup - installation$ bin/composer.phar require “codeception/codeception:*”

$ vendor/bin/codeception bootstrap

$ .../codeception generate:cept acceptance Welcome

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');

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}'

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)

API - config

class_name: ApiTester

modules:

enabled: [PhpBrowser, REST, ApiHelper]

config:

PhpBrowser:

url: http://serviceapp/

REST:

url: http://serviceapp/api/v1

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"}');

Db - configmodules:

enabled: [Db]

config:

Db:

dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb'

user: 'root'

password: ''

dump: 'tests/_data/dump.sql'

populate: true

cleanup: false

Db - test

$I->haveInDatabase('users', ['name' => 'miles']); //*

// $I->dontSeeInDatabase

$I->seeInDatabase('users', [

'name' => 'Davert',

'email' => 'davert@mail.com'

]);
