Yet another minor release. It introduces more compact form for unit tests.

{% highlight php %}

$this->user = new User();

}

public function testUserIsNotAdmin()

{

$this->assertFalse($user->isAdmin());

}

}

?>

{% endhighlight%}

We moved all Codeception's setUp and tearDown routine into parrent class and left you more clean `_before` and `_after` methods for your preperations.

They act just the same as `setUp` and `tearDown` for PHPUnit. So `_before` is executed before each test and `_after` after it.

Tests should look more clean now. If your tests already have setUp and tearDown methods nothing is changed for them.

Another nice feature for Symfony2 users and not only them. Form now on you can access a module from your unit test.

This is done to access public properties of your module. For example, here is how you can retrieve a **Symfony Dependency Injection Container**:

{% highlight php %}

$container = $this->getModule('Symfony2')->container;

$this->em = $container->get('doctrine');

}

?>

{% endhighlight%}

Also we'd like to announce the upcoming modules for **Yii** and **Laravel** frameworks.

In the meantime we will release more complete guides on How to integrate framework to Codeception.
