Codeception is a multi-featured PHP based testing framework. This boilerplate project allows us to create automated tests for web services (both REST and SOAP).

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.6+
• CURL enabled
• Composer
• Visual Studio Code / PHPStorm (optional IDE)

Windows OS prerequisites setup - example

• install https://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/ (during the setup process, mark the checkboxes for a php version >7.0 and mysql 5)
• set Env Vars to path C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.31\bin (the path might be slightly different on your machine - 'C:\wamp64\bin' should be the same)
• set Env vars to path C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.4.9
• install composer https://getcomposer.org/download/
• set Env var to path C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin
