SUMMARY:Behavior Driven Development and Browser Testing using Codeception
 
DESCRIPTION:Codeception provides **PHP TESTING FOREVERYONE** by collectin
 g and sharing best practices and solutions for testing PHP web applicati
 ons. With a flexible set of included modules\, tests are easy to write\,
  easy to use\, and easy to maintain. Join Alena Holligan to start writin
 g your own tests today. We'll focus on acceptance testing with a browser
 \, but Codeception also provides functional\, unit\, and API testing. We
 'll take a look at setting up Codeception and writing basic tests before
  jumping into Behavior Driven Development and the Gherkins syntax.Behavi
 or Driven Development (BDD) is a popular software development methodolog
 y. BDD is an extension of Test Driven Development (TDD) inspired by Agil
 e practices. But is the added layer really worth it? The primary reason 
 to choose BDD as your development process is to break down communication
  barriers between business and technical teams. BDD encourages automated
  testing to verify all documented features of a project from the beginni
 ng.Narrow the idea of story BDD: * describe features in a scenario with 
 a formal text* use examples to make abstract things concrete* implement 
 each step of a scenario for testing* write actual code implementing the 
 feature By writing every feature in User Story format that is automatica
 lly executable as a test\, we ensure that: businesses\, developers\, QAs
 \, and managers are all on the same page. BDD encourages exploration and
  debate to formalize the requirements and features by writing the User S
 tories so everyone can understand. By making tests part of the User Stor
 y\, BDD allows non-technical personnel to write (or edit) Acceptance tes
 ts. This procedure also ensures that everyone in a team knows what was d
 eveloped\, what was not\, what was tested\, and what was not.If you writ
 e your tests in a reusable way\, it can often make your tests LESS compl
 icated. Codeception collects and shares best practices and solutions for
  testing PHP web applications. With a flexible set of included modules\,
  tests are easy to write\, use\, and maintain. Get started today writing
  your first BDD test. Presented by Alena Holligan For over 20 years\, Al
