An integration layer between Behat, Mink Extension, and Drupal.

Behat Drupal Extension

The Drupal Extension is an integration layer between Behat, Mink Extension, and Drupal. It provides step definitions for common testing scenarios specific to Drupal sites.

The Drupal Extension 3.0 supports Drupal 7 and 8, and utilizes Behat 3. For Drupal 6 support (or Behat 2), use the 1.0 version.

Use it for testing your Drupal site.
