• Getting Started - setting up and writing a first test with Codeception
• Modules - understanding modules and helpers
• Acceptance Tests - writing Selenium and PhpBrowser accetance tests.
• Functional Tests - writing functional tests for popular PHP frameworks.
• Unit Tests (Test) - writing PHPUnit tests using Codeception helpers.

Reference

References explains API of verious parts of Codeception. Look for them if you forgot something.

• Commands - explains usage of Codecption console utility.
• Configuration - explains basics of suites and modules configuration.
• Locator - locator class which simplifies building of complex XPath or CSS locators.

• Stubs - cool stub builder explained.

Modules

Modules are used to test various parts of your application. There are plenty of those and many should arrive in a future. Choose the best module for your needs and see it's reference.

Testing Web Applications with Javascript

• Selenium - use Selenium server to run tests in browser.
• Selenium2 - use Selenium2 server to run tests in browser.
• ZombieJS - use Zombie.js backend to run tests without browser.

Testing Web Applications without Javascript

• PhpBrowser - emulates browser usage by fetching and parsing html pages.

Testing Inside PHP Frameworks

• Symfony2 - wraper for Symfony2 functional tests.
• Zend Framework - wraper for ZF functional test.
• symfony - wraper for symfony 1.x functional test
• Kohana
• Social Engine - ZF module adopted for SE

Quick guide for Zend Framework integration.

Unit Testing

Basically you could use PHPUnit tests for unit testing. But Codeception scenario-driven unit tests are much powerful )

• Unit - everything for unit testing.

API Testing

• REST - testing REST Web services (can be tested inside framework).
• SOAP - testing SOAP WSDL web-services (can be tested inside framework).
• XML-RPC - testing XML-RPC web-services (can be tested inside framework).

Storage Testing

• Db - use to test changes in database
• Doctrine2 - test database managed by Doctrine2 ORM.
• Doctrine - test database managed by Doctrine 1.x ORM.
• Memcache - Memcache test via one of PECL extensions.
• AMQP - interacts with message broker software implementing Advanced Message Queuing Protocol, like RabbitMQ.
