Login Test with Codeception

Hi Guys! I'm learning Codeception using Laravel 4, and I was wondering, how do you manage to write a functional test to test a feature that requires you to be logged in order to see the page? For example, if I test that I have to be on /posts and see "My Posts", then this would not work, because I'm not logged in, and I'll get "Log In" instead. Do I have to write the code to

Best way to unit test model's create method???

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. This is my first project practising a mixture of TDD/BDD (I'll get to DDD once I've mastered the practice of test first development). In general it's going great. It's taking considerably longer but I have massive confidence in my code now. I am now testing the user model and am to the point where I need to unit test the create method. Con

Testing: How to test the contents of a dataset for presence / absence of records

Hi. I hope this is not a naff question - here goes. I know that testing apps like Codeception allow the functional testing of records in a database using command like seeRecord. I have also seen example of integration and functional testing of the certain attributes of a recordset, such as first record, last record and record count. But I don't think I have seen examples of

Acceptance Test vs Functional Test?

I'm struggling to understand the difference between these two. For example, going by the definitions I read, I thought to myself an acceptance test, shouldn't need the Laravel4 module (in codeception) as it isn't concerned with the inner-workings of the application. But then I came across a situation where, in what I thought was an acceptance test, I needed to access the datab

Is Codeception a replacement for all other test suites

It seems like codeception has all of the functionality that one would need to test an application, because it has acceptance, functional, and unit testing capabilities. So I wonder why we would need to use any of the other testing frameworks like phpspec etc if codeception does it all.
