This document provides instructions for setting up and running user acceptance tests with Behat and Mink in PHP. It outlines installing necessary Behat and Mink dependencies, configuring a Behat YAML configuration file to define suites and contexts, writing a sample feature file with scenarios, defining a context class to implement step definitions, and executing tests by running Behat. The goal is to demonstrate how to test a Google search functionality by automating browser interactions and assertions.

1. User Acceptance Test
with Behat
Long Nguyen

3. Architecture

4. Test Google ??

5. HOW #1
composer.json
"require-dev": {
"behat/behat": "^3.0",
"behat/gherkin": "^4.4",
"behat/mink-extension": "^2.1",
"behat/mink-selenium2-driver": "^1.3"
},

6. Mink Driver
https://mink.readthedocs.org/en/l
atest/guides/drivers.html
choose appropriate driver for
appropriate kind of browser
(selenium, phantomjs, etc …)

7. install selenium (HOW #1.1)
http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/
alias startselenium='java -jar /opt/selenium-testing/selenium-server-standalone-2.47.1.jar'

8. HOW #2
behat.yml
default:
autoload: [ %paths.base%/test/acceptance/contexts ]
suites:
test_google_features:
paths: [ %paths.base%/test/acceptance/features ]
contexts: [ TestGoogleContext ]
extensions:
BehatMinkExtension:
base_url: https://google.com
selenium2: ~

9. HOW #3
define feature
# features/TestGoogle.feature
Feature: Test Google
In order to search for something
Scenario: Search for how google works
Given I am on "/"
When I fill in "q" with "how google works"
And I press "btnG"
Then I wait for the next step
Then I should see "How Google Works"

10. HOW #4
define context
<?php
use BehatMinkExtensionContextMinkContext;
class TestGoogleContext extends MinkContext
{
/**
* @Then /^I wait for the next step$/
*/
public function iWaitForTheNextStep()
{
$this->getSession()->wait(1000);
}
}

11. HOW #5
vendor/bin/behat
autoload
read feature - compare with context
