Functional Testing
FunctionalTest test your applications Controller logic and anything else which requires a web request. The
core idea of these tests is the same as SapphireTest unit tests but FunctionalTest adds several methods for
creating SS_HTTPRequest, receiving SS_HTTPResponse objects and modifying the current user session.

$page = $this->get($url);
of the response.
Post
$page = $this->post($url);
of the response.
Submit
$submit = $this->submitForm($formID, $button = null, $data = array());LogInAs
$this->logInAs($member); $this->logInAs(null);The FunctionalTest class also provides additional asserts to validate your tests.
assertPartialMatchBySelector
$this->assertPartialMatchBySelector('p.good',array(
'Test save was successful'
));selector will be applied to the HTML of the most recent page. The content of every matching tag will be examined. The assertion fails if one of the expectedMatches fails to appear.
assertExactMatchBySelector
$this->assertExactMatchBySelector("#MyForm_ID p.error", array(
"That email address is invalid."
));selector will be applied to the HTML of the most recent page. The full HTML of every matching tag will be examined. The assertion fails if one of the expectedMatches fails to appear.
assertPartialHTMLMatchBySelector
$this->assertPartialHTMLMatchBySelector("#MyForm_ID p.error", array(
"That email address is invalid."
));selector will be applied to the HTML of the most recent page. The content of every matching tag will be examined. The assertion fails if one of the expectedMatches fails to appear.
