    ...

Then add it as a formatter in your behat.yml :, _(*3)

Metric Check Type

If the check is going to be a metric check there is a change that needs to be made and another one that could be made depending on the check., _(*4)

#behat.yml
  ...
  extensions:
    miamioh\BehatSensuFormatter\BehatSensuFormatterExtension:
      checkType: 'metric'
  ...

This will add 3 lines of metrics to the output:, _(*5)

  behat.tests.run 2 1515546664
  behat.tests.passed 2 1515546664

  OK: All 2 tests passed

The Description of the metric, the value of the metric and the timestamp the metric was created. This information can then be used by Graphite to show a chart of passed and failed tests., _(*6)

Additionally you could add the metricPreface parameter to your yml file to preface the metric name with specific information about the test run., _(*7)

and another one that could be made depending on the check. so maybe metricPreface: 'test.myapp' or something like metricPreface: 'test.chrome.myapp' if you wanted to collet all your test metrics when the test is run against chrome vs maybe safari. when this preface is added then the output would be, _(*8)

  test.chrome.myapp.behat.tests.run 2 1515546664
  test.chrome.myapp.behat.tests.passed 2 1515546664
  test.chrome.myapp.behat.tests.failed 0 1515546664
  OK: All 2 tests passed
