Composer is a package manager not in the same sense as Yum or Apt are. Yes, it deals with "packages" or libraries, but it manages them on a per-project basis, installing them in a directory (e.g. vendor) inside your project. By default, it does not install anything globally. Thus, it is a dependency manager. It does however support a "global" project for convenience via the global command.

This idea is not new and Composer is strongly inspired by node's npm and ruby's bundler.

Codeception is a new full-stack testing PHP framework. It provides you absolutely new original way for writing acceptance, functional and unit tests.

$I->amOnPage('/blog/posts');
$I->click('Create new post');
$I->fillField('Title','Codeception, a new way of testing!');
$I->fillField('Text','Codeception is new PHP full-stack testing framework.');
$I->click('Send');
$I->see('Congratulations, your post is successfully created!');
?>

It's very easy to read, easy to write and execute in a web browser or browser emulator.
