Are you still performing manual tests to test your projects? Do you still face errors, even after repetitive testing? Well, if yes it’s time for a transformation and switches to Automated testing. Manual testing is time-consuming and requires a high level of human engagement, repetitive steps to be carried out at every, time-consuming and there are still chances of errors.
But with automated testing, the challenges are reduced and it saves a lot of time. Simply write the test
script for any feature and allow the test to run anytime.
Why Automation Testing?
It is a software testing technique performed using special automated tools to reduce errors, testing efforts, and delivering quick results. It provides you better quality software with very little effort. Automation testing helps to:
1. Saves Time: The test results are much faster than manual time and target multiple platforms at once.
2. Ensures Accuracy: The results are reliable, with no more repetitive steps, and prone to errors.

What is Codeception and why try it?
Codeception is an open-source free PHP framework for testing web applications. It is a behavior-driven Development (BDD) system testing framework that uses selenium web driver to execute test cases on different browsers.
It makes testing fun, easy and allows writing unit, integration, and acceptance tests in a single and logical style. Below we have described why Codeception is the foremost choice for the testers:
1. Reusability of Test Suite
Using modularity Codeception creates an ultimate testing environment for every suite you are writing. However, once you have decided on your suite you can reuse tests with other use cases. Codeception using a common syntax for all the backends and allows you to create the most complex statements.
2. Simplicity and Clarity
Codeception is a PHP-based framework and requires basic knowledge of PHP. The simplicity of the testing is vital, the test should be easy to read, write, and debug. It is very useful for beginners in terms of its simplicity and therefore is the most preferred framework.
3. Database Handling
Test isolation is a major issue faced by testers. In simple words, you have to clean the database after the test is performed. But with Codeception by simply running a command you can clear the database and before the tests are done. It is recommended for beginners as with Codeception all the test-cases are visible and make it the perfect tool for you.
4. Improved Accuracy
You will never be satisfied with the testing results at once, repetitive testing is simply time and resource wastage. Moreover, even the best engineer will make mistakes especially while testing a complex use case. With the Codeception, you can be 100% accurate about the solutions and save your time from the monotonous tasks.

Conclusion
At ToXSL, we perform testing using Codeception which is the right automated testing tool for years. It also has modules for other popular frameworks and the results are even readable to a non-technical guy. It has always been our first choice and we recommend it for the organizations that are looking for the same.
