* PHPUnit 5.4 and PHPUnit/php-code-coverage 4.0 compatibility.

* **Custom Commands** inject your own commands as as simple as extension. [Announcement](http://codeception.com/03-10-2016/even-more-features-of-codeception.html#custom-commands)

* `codecept dry-run` command added to show scenario steps without executing them.

* *Breaking* **[Dbh]** module removed

* *Breaking* **[Symfony]** public property `container` removed

* *Breaking* **[Asserts]** removed deprecated `assertLessThen` and `assertGreaterThen`

* *Breaking* mocks created with `Codeception\Util\Stub` are not verified in Cests. See [#3005](https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues/3005)

* **[AngularJS]** module added. Extends WebDriver module for AngularJS testing. [Announcement](http://codeception.com/03-10-2016/even-more-features-of-codeception.html#angularjs)

* **[DataFactory]** module added. Performs data generation using FactoryMuffin library [Announcement](http://codeception.com/03-10-2016/even-more-features-of-codeception.html#datafactory)

* **[Redis]** Module rewritten using Predis library as driver by **[marcverney](https://github.com/marcverney)**

* **[Symfony]** module Symfony2 renamed to Symfony

* **[Phalcon]** Merged `Phalcon1` and `Phalcon2` modules into one `Phalcon` due the fact that Phalcon Framework v1.3.x no longer supported at all

* **[Asserts]** More `assert*` methods from PHPUnit added

* Deprecation errors won't fail tests but will be printed.

* Official [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/codeception/codeception/) introduced by **[schmunk42](https://github.com/schmunk42)**

* **[Db]** Added missing support for LIKE condition to SqlSrv driver

### Testing JSON Responses

The last line of the previous example verified that the response contained the provided string. However we shouldn't rely on it, as depending on content formatting we can receive different results with the same data. What we actually need is to check that the response can be parsed and it contains some of the values we expect. In the case of JSON we can use the `seeResponseContainsJson` method

$I->wantTo('validate structure of GitHub api responses');

$I->sendGET('/users');

$I->seeResponseIsJson();

$I->seeResponseJsonMatchesJsonPath('$[0].user.login');

$I->seeResponseJsonMatchesXpath('//user/login');

$I->sendGET('/users/1');

$I->seeResponseIsJson();

$I->seeResponseMatchesJsonType([

'id' => 'integer',

$I->wantTo('validate structure of GitHub api responses');

$I->sendGET('/users.xml');

$I->seeResponseIsXml();

$I->seeXmlResponseMatchesXpath('//user/login');

$I->seeXmlResponseIncludes(XmlUtils::toXml(

There are two approaches to achieve parallelization. We can use [Docker](http://docker.com) and run each process inside isolated containers, and have those containers executed simultaneously.

Docker works really well for isolating testing environments.

By the time of writing this chapter, we didn't have an awesome tool like it. This chapter demonstrates how to manage parallel execution manually. As you will see we spend too much effort trying to isolate tests which Docker does for free. Today we **recommend using Docker** for parallel testing.

(you can also use Laravel5 and Phalcon).

* You should create this directory manually and create PHP files in it with factories definitions following [official documentation](https://github.com/thephpleague/factory-muffin#usage).

In cases you want to use data from database inside your factory definitions you can define them in Helper.
