Functional testing
Functional tests mimic the user interaction with our application. They literally mean testing in the form of browser interaction, which involves clicking on the page, adding products to the cart, and so on. For this purpose, Magento uses Magento Testing Framework (MTF). It's a PHP wrapper around Selenium, which is a portable software testing framework for web applications. MTF is not available out of the box via the console. It can be downloaded at https://github.com/magento/mtf.
The following requirements need to be met before installing MTF:
Git must be installed.
The Firefox browser must be installed.
The PHP openssl extension must be installed and enabled.
Java version 1.6 or later is required and it's JAR executable must be in the system PATH.
The Selenium standalone server, which is available at http://www.seleniumhq.org/, needs to be downloaded. The download should provide a JAR file that we will later need to refer to.
Magento must be installed and configured to not use...
