Codeception is a PHP testing framework that allows developers to write different types of tests like unit tests, integration tests, and UI tests. It has good support for PHP frameworks and can be installed via composer. Tests should be written before code to ensure functionality and catch errors, with the goal being that tests are easy to write. Codeception tests can then be run locally or on a CI server.
