Mockery
Mockery is a simple yet flexible PHP mock object framework for use in unit testing with PHPUnit, PHPSpec or any other testing framework. Its core goal is to offer a test double framework with a succinct API capable of clearly defining all possible object operations and interactions using a human readable Domain Specific Language (DSL). -
VFS Stream
vfsStream is a stream wrapper for a virtual file system that may be helpful in unit tests to mock the real file system. It can be used with any unit test framework, like PHPUnit or SimpleTest. -

At a Glance
Describe what you test and how you test it. Use PHP to write descriptions faster.
Run tests and see what actions were taken and what results were seen.
Sample test
$I->amOnPage('/');
$I->click('Pages');
$I->click('New');
$I->see('New Page');
$I->submitForm('form#new_page', ['title' => 'Movie Review']);
$I->see('page created'); // notice generated
$I->see('Movie Review','h1'); // head of page of is our title
$I->seeInCurrentUrl('pages/movie-review'); // slug is generated
$I->seeInDatabase('pages', ['title' => 'Movie Review']); // data is stored in database
For unit testing you can stay on classic PHPUnit tests, as Codeception can run them too.
