Codeception is a full-stack testing framework for PHP that supports acceptance, functional, and unit testing in a single tool, built on top of PHPUnit. It uses a BDD-inspired, human-readable actor syntax and modular architecture with modules for browsers, frameworks, databases, and APIs.
Use cases
- write acceptance tests for a php web application
- run end-to-end browser tests with selenium webdriver
- test rest api endpoints in php
- run functional tests inside laravel or symfony without a web server
- run existing phpunit tests alongside acceptance suites
- assert database state after form submissions in tests
When to choose
- you need acceptance, functional, and unit testing unified in one php tool
- you want readable, BDD-style test scenarios for web apps
- you test applications built with Symfony, Laravel, Yii, or Zend
When to avoid
- you only need lightweight unit tests and prefer plain PHPUnit
- your project is not written in PHP
- you need testing for non-web domains like mobile or desktop apps
