What is this

This is a tool to generate valid php code to use in acceptance tests, in codeception. This code parses an existing form and its values and generates the code needed for $I->submitForm(...).

Why

Because making tests for an app is so boring.

USAGE:

Copy and paste the code into your browser console on the page that have the form or forms you want to generate.
