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. Behav ior Driven Development (BDD) is a popular software development methodolo gy. BDD is an extension of Test Driven Development (TDD) inspired by Agi le practices. But is the added layer really worth it? The primary reason to choose BDD as your development process is to break down communicatio n barriers between business and technical teams. BDD encourages automate d testing to verify all documented features of a project from the beginn ing. Narrow the idea of story BDD: * describe features in a scenario wit h a formal text* use examples to make abstract things concrete* implemen t each step of a scenario for testing* write actual code implementing th e feature By writing every feature in User Story format that is automati cally executable as a test\, we ensure that: businesses\, developers\, Q As\, and managers are all on the same page. BDD encourages exploration a nd debate to formalize the requirements and features by writing the User Stories so everyone can understand. By making tests part of the User St ory\, BDD allows non-technical personnel to write (or edit) Acceptance t ests. This procedure also ensures that everyone in a team knows what was developed\, what was not\, what was tested\, and what was not. If you w rite your tests in a reusable way\, it can often make your tests LESS co mplicated. Codeception collects and shares best practices and solutions for testing PHP web applications. With a flexible set of included module s\, tests are easy to write\, use\, and maintain. Get started today writ ing your first BDD test.
