Tests in `codeception` directory are developed with [Codeception PHP Testing Framework](http://codeception.com/).

1. Install Codeception if it's not yet installed:

```
composer global require "codeception/codeception=2.0.*"
composer global require "codeception/specify=*"
composer global require "codeception/verify=*"
```

If you've never used Composer for global packages run `composer global status`. It should output:

```
Changed current directory to <directory>
```
20

21 22
Then add `<directory>/vendor/bin` to you `PATH` environment variable. Now we're able to use `codecept` from command
line globally.

2. Install faker extension by running the following from template root directory where `composer.json` is:

```
composer require --dev yiisoft/yii2-faker:*
```

30
3. Create `yii2_basic_tests` database and update it by applying migrations:
31 32

```
33
codeception/bin/yii migrate
34 35 36
```

4. Build the test suites:
37 38 39 40 41

```
codecept build
```

5. In order to be able to run acceptance tests you need to start a webserver. The simplest way is to use PHP built in
43 44 45 46 47
webserver. In the `web` directory execute the following:

```
php -S localhost:8080
```
48

49
6. Now you can run the tests with the following commands:
50 51 52

```
# run all available tests
53
codecept run
54
# run acceptance tests
55
codecept run acceptance
56
# run functional tests
57
codecept run functional
58
# run unit tests
59
codecept run unit
60 61
```

Please refer to [Codeception tutorial](http://codeception.com/docs/01-Introduction) for

more details about writing and running acceptance, functional and unit tests.
