This document discusses acceptance testing with Codeception, an open source testing framework. It introduces acceptance testing as testing the user experience of an application through a browser. Codeception supports acceptance testing through Cept files, Cest classes, and feature files using the Gherkin language. The document also covers parallel testing with Robo to speed up acceptance tests, and some common challenges like test speed, handling JavaScript, browser bugs, and data uniqueness.
