The Codeception PHP website testing framework helps you like all frameworks to make complex things easy. You have Selenium commands wrapped in module methods from the webdriver library. Commands like $I-amOnPage() or $I-waitForElement make it for every coder level super easy to write tests. But the most benefit is that you can add easy other kinds of PHP tests like PHPUnit. Also you are in the PHP context. So as PHP developer you can use the full power of your main programming language.

The debug output when a test find a bug is super helpful. You will get a screenshot and the actual HTML snapshot with AJAX autocomplete. In this Codeception tutorial you will also see how to use Xdebug direct from the oh-my-zsh terminal command line. This is a very good way to debug your actual tests. Here is the link to the Never Code Alone Gist file. Just run it on your command line in the folder where you run the tests and press the phone button on PhPStorm to listen to the Debug connection.

Why Codeception?
Codeception gives you the pure power as what you need as PHP developer. You can use dependency injection, can look with the DB module in the MySQL database, create helper classes and you can use all vendor libraries from GitHub.
