Codeception vs Selenium: What are the differences?

What is Codeception? Elegant and Efficient Testing for PHP. Full-stack testing framework for PHP. Run browsers tests, framework tests, APIs tests, unit tests with ease.

What is Selenium? Web Browser Automation. Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.

Codeception can be classified as a tool in the "Testing Frameworks" category, while Selenium is grouped under "Browser Testing".

Selenium is an open source tool with 14.9K GitHub stars and 4.97K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Selenium's open source repository on GitHub.
