Codeception

Full-stack testing framework for PHP that writes acceptance, functional and unit tests in a BDD-inspired style.

Codeception is a testing framework for PHP that covers acceptance, functional and unit tests, and describes tests in a BDD-inspired syntax. It is built on top of PHPUnit and can run PHPUnit tests. Its modules can drive a browser through Selenium WebDriver or send HTTP requests with PhpBrowser, and tests can run inside a PHP framework, so the application runs without a web server in front of it. The bootstrap command creates a test directory with default suites, and the suites run from the command line. The documentation describes the modules and the framework integrations.

Worth knowing

The PHAR download line on the install page names a lower PHP minimum than the package manifest of the latest release requires.
