This is a drop in replacement for Test::Simple 99 which you can switch to once you get the hang of basic testing. 100 101 The purpose of this module is to provide a wide range of testing 102 utilities. Various ways to say "ok" with better diagnostics, 103 facilities to skip tests, test future features and compare complicated 104 data structures. While you can do almost anything with a simple 105 C<ok()> function, it doesn't provide good diagnostic output. 106 107 108 =head2 I love it when a plan comes together 109 110 Before anything else, you need a testing plan. This basically declares 111 how many tests your script is going to run to protect against premature 112 failure. 113 114 The preferred way to do this is to declare a plan when you C<use Test::More>. 115 116 use Test::More tests => 23; 117 118 There are rare cases when you will not know beforehand how many tests 119 your script is going to run. In this case, you can declare that you 120 have no plan. (Try to avoid using this as it weakens your test.) 121 122 use Test::More qw(no_plan); 123 124 B<NOTE>: using no_plan requires a Test::Harness upgrade else it will 125 think everything has failed. See L<CAVEATS and NOTES>). 126 127 In some cases, you'll want to completely skip an entire testing script. 128 129 use Test::More skip_all => $skip_reason; 130 131 Your script will declare a skip with the reason why you skipped and 132 exit immediately with a zero (success). See L<Test::Harness> for 133 details. 134 135 If you want to control what functions Test::More will export, you 136 have to use the 'import' option. For example, to import everything 137 but 'fail', you'd do: 138 139 use Test::More tests => 23, import => ['!fail']; 140 141 Alternatively, you can use the plan() function. Useful for when you 142 have to calculate the number of tests. 143 144 use Test::More; 145 plan tests => keys %Stuff * 3; 146 147 or for deciding between running the tests at all: 148 149 use Test::More; 150 if( $^O eq 'MacOS' ) { 151 plan skip_all => 'Test irrelevant on MacOS'; 152 } 153 else { 154 plan tests => 42; 155 } 156 157 =cut 158 159 sub plan { 160 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 161 162 $tb->plan(@_); 163 } 164 165 166 # This implements "use Test::More 'no_diag'" but the behavior is 167 # deprecated. 168 sub import_extra { 169 my $class = shift; 170 my $list = shift; 171 172 my @other = (); 173 my $idx = 0; 174 while( $idx <= $#{$list} ) { 175 my $item = $list->[$idx]; 176 177 if( defined $item and $item eq 'no_diag' ) { 178 $class->builder->no_diag(1); 179 } 180 else { 181 push @other, $item; 182 } 183 184 $idx++; 185 } 186 187 @$list = @other; 188 } 189 190 191 =head2 Test names 192 193 By convention, each test is assigned a number in order. This is 194 largely done automatically for you. However, it's often very useful to 195 assign a name to each test. Which would you rather see: 196 197 ok 4 198 not ok 5 199 ok 6 200 201 or 202 203 ok 4 - basic multi-variable 204 not ok 5 - simple exponential 205 ok 6 - force == mass * acceleration 206 207 The later gives you some idea of what failed. It also makes it easier 208 to find the test in your script, simply search for "simple 209 exponential". 210 211 All test functions take a name argument. It's optional, but highly 212 suggested that you use it. 213 214 215 =head2 I'm ok, you're not ok. 216 217 The basic purpose of this module is to print out either "ok #" or "not 218 ok #" depending on if a given test succeeded or failed. Everything 219 else is just gravy. 220 221 All of the following print "ok" or "not ok" depending on if the test 222 succeeded or failed. They all also return true or false, 223 respectively. 224 225 =over 4 226 227 =item B<ok> 228 229 ok($got eq $expected, $test_name); 230 231 This simply evaluates any expression (C<$got eq $expected> is just a 232 simple example) and uses that to determine if the test succeeded or 233 failed. A true expression passes, a false one fails. Very simple. 234 235 For example: 236 237 ok( $exp{9} == 81, 'simple exponential' ); 238 ok( Film->can('db_Main'), 'set_db()' ); 239 ok( $p->tests == 4, 'saw tests' ); 240 ok( !grep !defined $_, @items, 'items populated' ); 241 242 (Mnemonic: "This is ok.") 243 244 $test_name is a very short description of the test that will be printed 245 out. It makes it very easy to find a test in your script when it fails 246 and gives others an idea of your intentions. $test_name is optional, 247 but we B<very> strongly encourage its use. 248 249 Should an ok() fail, it will produce some diagnostics: 250 251 not ok 18 - sufficient mucus 252 # Failed test 'sufficient mucus' 253 # in foo.t at line 42. 254 255 This is the same as Test::Simple's ok() routine. 256 257 =cut 258 259 sub ok ($;$) { 260 my($test, $name) = @_; 261 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 262 263 $tb->ok($test, $name); 264 } 265 266 =item B<is> 267 268 =item B<isnt> 269 270 is ( $got, $expected, $test_name ); 271 isnt( $got, $expected, $test_name ); 272 273 Similar to ok(), is() and isnt() compare their two arguments 274 with C<eq> and C<ne> respectively and use the result of that to 275 determine if the test succeeded or failed. So these: 276 277 # Is the ultimate answer 42? 278 is( ultimate_answer(), 42, "Meaning of Life" ); 279 280 # $foo isn't empty 281 isnt( $foo, '', "Got some foo" ); 282 283 are similar to these: 284 285 ok( ultimate_answer() eq 42, "Meaning of Life" ); 286 ok( $foo ne '', "Got some foo" ); 287 288 (Mnemonic: "This is that." "This isn't that.") 289 290 So why use these? They produce better diagnostics on failure. ok() 291 cannot know what you are testing for (beyond the name), but is() and 292 isnt() know what the test was and why it failed. For example this 293 test: 294 295 my $foo = 'waffle'; my $bar = 'yarblokos'; 296 is( $foo, $bar, 'Is foo the same as bar?' ); 297 298 Will produce something like this: 299 300 not ok 17 - Is foo the same as bar? 301 # Failed test 'Is foo the same as bar?' 302 # in foo.t at line 139. 303 # got: 'waffle' 304 # expected: 'yarblokos' 305 306 So you can figure out what went wrong without rerunning the test. 307 308 You are encouraged to use is() and isnt() over ok() where possible, 309 however do not be tempted to use them to find out if something is 310 true or false! 311 312 # XXX BAD! 313 is( exists $brooklyn{tree}, 1, 'A tree grows in Brooklyn' ); 314 315 This does not check if C<exists $brooklyn{tree}> is true, it checks if 316 it returns 1. Very different. Similar caveats exist for false and 0. 317 In these cases, use ok(). 318 319 ok( exists $brooklyn{tree}, 'A tree grows in Brooklyn' ); 320 321 For those grammatical pedants out there, there's an C<isn't()> 322 function which is an alias of isnt(). 323 324 =cut 325 326 sub is ($$;$) { 327 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 328 329 $tb->is_eq(@_); 330 } 331 332 sub isnt ($$;$) { 333 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 334 335 $tb->isnt_eq(@_); 336 } 337 338 *isn't = \&isnt; 339 340 341 =item B<like> 342 343 like( $got, qr/expected/, $test_name ); 344 345 Similar to ok(), like() matches $got against the regex C<qr/expected/>. 346 347 So this: 348 349 like($got, qr/expected/, 'this is like that'); 350 351 is similar to: 352 353 ok( $got =~ /expected/, 'this is like that'); 354 355 (Mnemonic "This is like that".) 356 357 The second argument is a regular expression. It may be given as a 358 regex reference (i.e. C<qr//>) or (for better compatibility with older 359 perls) as a string that looks like a regex (alternative delimiters are 360 currently not supported): 361 362 like( $got, '/expected/', 'this is like that' ); 363 364 Regex options may be placed on the end (C<'/expected/i'>). 365 366 Its advantages over ok() are similar to that of is() and isnt(). Better 367 diagnostics on failure. 368 369 =cut 370 371 sub like ($$;$) { 372 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 373 374 $tb->like(@_); 375 } 376 377 378 =item B<unlike> 379 380 unlike( $got, qr/expected/, $test_name ); 381 382 Works exactly as like(), only it checks if $got B<does not> match the 383 given pattern. 384 385 =cut 386 387 sub unlike ($$;$) { 388 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 389 390 $tb->unlike(@_); 391 } 392 393 394 =item B<cmp_ok> 395 396 cmp_ok( $got, $op, $expected, $test_name ); 397 398 Halfway between ok() and is() lies cmp_ok(). This allows you to 399 compare two arguments using any binary perl operator. 400 401 # ok( $got eq $expected ); 402 cmp_ok( $got, 'eq', $expected, 'this eq that' ); 403 404 # ok( $got == $expected ); 405 cmp_ok( $got, '==', $expected, 'this == that' ); 406 407 # ok( $got && $expected ); 408 cmp_ok( $got, '&&', $expected, 'this && that' ); 409 ...etc... 410 411 Its advantage over ok() is when the test fails you'll know what $got 412 and $expected were: 413 414 not ok 1 415 # Failed test in foo.t at line 12. 416 # '23' 417 # && 418 # undef 419 420 It's also useful in those cases where you are comparing numbers and 421 is()'s use of C<eq> will interfere: 422 423 cmp_ok( $big_hairy_number, '==', $another_big_hairy_number ); 424 425 =cut 426 427 sub cmp_ok($$$;$) { 428 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 429 430 $tb->cmp_ok(@_); 431 } 432 433 434 =item B<can_ok> 435 436 can_ok($module, @methods); 437 can_ok($object, @methods); 438 439 Checks to make sure the $module or $object can do these @methods 440 (works with functions, too). 441 442 can_ok('Foo', qw(this that whatever)); 443 444 is almost exactly like saying: 445 446 ok( Foo->can('this') && 447 Foo->can('that') && 448 Foo->can('whatever') 449 ); 450 451 only without all the typing and with a better interface. Handy for 452 quickly testing an interface. 453 454 No matter how many @methods you check, a single can_ok() call counts 455 as one test. If you desire otherwise, use: 456 457 foreach my $meth (@methods) { 458 can_ok('Foo', $meth); 459 } 460 461 =cut 462 463 sub can_ok ($@) { 464 my($proto, @methods) = @_; 465 my $class = ref $proto || $proto; 466 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 467 468 unless( $class ) { 469 my $ok = $tb->ok( 0, "->can(...)" ); 470 $tb->diag(' can_ok() called with empty class or reference'); 471 return $ok; 472 } 473 474 unless( @methods ) { 475 my $ok = $tb->ok( 0, "$class->can(...)" ); 476 $tb->diag(' can_ok() called with no methods'); 477 return $ok; 478 } 479 480 my @nok = (); 481 foreach my $method (@methods) { 482 $tb->_try(sub { $proto->can($method) }) or push @nok, $method; 483 } 484 485 my $name; 486 $name = @methods == 1 ? "$class->can('$methods[0]')" 487 : "$class->can(...)"; 488 489 my $ok = $tb->ok( !@nok, $name ); 490 491 $tb->diag(map " $class->can('$_') failed\n", @nok); 492 493 return $ok; 494 } 495 496 =item B<isa_ok> 497 498 isa_ok($object, $class, $object_name); 499 isa_ok($ref, $type, $ref_name); 500 501 Checks to see if the given C<< $object->isa($class) >>. Also checks to make 502 sure the object was defined in the first place. Handy for this sort 503 of thing: 504 505 my $obj = Some::Module->new; 506 isa_ok( $obj, 'Some::Module' ); 507 508 where you'd otherwise have to write 509 510 my $obj = Some::Module->new; 511 ok( defined $obj && $obj->isa('Some::Module') ); 512 513 to safeguard against your test script blowing up. 514 515 It works on references, too: 516 517 isa_ok( $array_ref, 'ARRAY' ); 518 519 The diagnostics of this test normally just refer to 'the object'. If 520 you'd like them to be more specific, you can supply an $object_name 521 (for example 'Test customer'). 522 523 =cut 524 525 sub isa_ok ($$;$) { 526 my($object, $class, $obj_name) = @_; 527 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 528 529 my $diag; 530 $obj_name = 'The object' unless defined $obj_name; 531 my $name = "$obj_name isa $class"; 532 if( !defined $object ) { 533 $diag = "$obj_name isn't defined"; 534 } 535 elsif( !ref $object ) { 536 $diag = "$obj_name isn't a reference"; 537 } 538 else { 539 # We can't use UNIVERSAL::isa because we want to honor isa() overrides 540 my($rslt, $error) = $tb->_try(sub { $object->isa($class) }); 541 if( $error ) { 542 if( $error =~ /^Can't call method "isa" on unblessed reference/ ) { 543 # Its an unblessed reference 544 if( !UNIVERSAL::isa($object, $class) ) { 545 my $ref = ref $object; 546 $diag = "$obj_name isn't a '$class' it's a '$ref'"; 547 } 548 } else { 549 die <<WHOA; 550 WHOA!

Usually 585 the case is you've got some complicated condition that is difficult to 586 wedge into an ok(). In this case, you can simply use pass() (to 587 declare the test ok) or fail (for not ok). They are synonyms for 588 ok(1) and ok(0). 589 590 Use these very, very, very sparingly. 591 592 =cut 593 594 sub pass (;$) { 595 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 596 $tb->ok(1, @_); 597 } 598 599 sub fail (;$) { 600 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 601 $tb->ok(0, @_); 602 } 603 604 =back 605 606 607 =head2 Module tests 608 609 You usually want to test if the module you're testing loads ok, rather 610 than just vomiting if its load fails. For such purposes we have 611 C<use_ok> and C<require_ok>. 612 613 =over 4 614 615 =item B<use_ok> 616 617 BEGIN { use_ok($module); } 618 BEGIN { use_ok($module, @imports); } 619 620 These simply use the given $module and test to make sure the load 621 happened ok. It's recommended that you run use_ok() inside a BEGIN 622 block so its functions are exported at compile-time and prototypes are 623 properly honored. 624 625 If @imports are given, they are passed through to the use. So this: 626 627 BEGIN { use_ok('Some::Module', qw(foo bar)) } 628 629 is like doing this: 630 631 use Some::Module qw(foo bar); 632 633 Version numbers can be checked like so: 634 635 # Just like "use Some::Module 1.02" 636 BEGIN { use_ok('Some::Module', 1.02) } 637 638 Don't try to do this: 639 640 BEGIN { 641 use_ok('Some::Module'); 642 643 ...some code that depends on the use... 644 ...happening at compile time... 645 } 646 647 because the notion of "compile-time" is relative. Instead, you want: 648 649 BEGIN { use_ok('Some::Module') } 650 BEGIN { ...some code that depends on the use... } 651 652 653 =cut 654 655 sub use_ok ($;@) { 656 my($module, @imports) = @_; 657 @imports = () unless @imports; 658 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 659 660 my($pack,$filename,$line) = caller; 661 662 local($@,$!,$SIG{__DIE__}); # isolate eval 663 664 if( @imports == 1 and $imports[0] =~ /^\d+(?:\.\d+)?$/ ) { 665 # probably a version check.

There are times you 752 need to see if two data structures are equivalent. For these 753 instances Test::More provides a handful of useful functions. 754 755 B<NOTE> I'm not quite sure what will happen with filehandles. 756 757 =over 4 758 759 =item B<is_deeply> 760 761 is_deeply( $got, $expected, $test_name ); 762 763 Similar to is(), except that if $got and $expected are references, it 764 does a deep comparison walking each data structure to see if they are 765 equivalent. If the two structures are different, it will display the 766 place where they start differing. 767 768 is_deeply() compares the dereferenced values of references, the 769 references themselves (except for their type) are ignored. This means 770 aspects such as blessing and ties are not considered "different". 771 772 is_deeply() current has very limited handling of function reference 773 and globs. It merely checks if they have the same referent.

But sometimes it doesn't work out 893 that way. So here we have ways for you to write your own diagnostic 894 messages which are safer than just C<print STDERR>. 895 896 =over 4 897 898 =item B<diag> 899 900 diag(@diagnostic_message); 901 902 Prints a diagnostic message which is guaranteed not to interfere with 903 test output. Like C<print> @diagnostic_message is simply concatenated 904 together. 905 906 Handy for this sort of thing: 907 908 ok( grep(/foo/, @users), "There's a foo user" ) or 909 diag("Since there's no foo, check that /etc/bar is set up right"); 910 911 which would produce: 912 913 not ok 42 - There's a foo user 914 # Failed test 'There's a foo user' 915 # in foo.t at line 52. 916 # Since there's no foo, check that /etc/bar is set up right. 917 918 You might remember C<ok() or diag()> with the mnemonic C<open() or 919 die()>. 920 921 B<NOTE> The exact formatting of the diagnostic output is still 922 changing, but it is guaranteed that whatever you throw at it it won't 923 interfere with the test. 924 925 =cut 926 927 sub diag { 928 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 929 930 $tb->diag(@_); 931 } 932 933 934 =back 935 936 937 =head2 Conditional tests 938 939 Sometimes running a test under certain conditions will cause the 940 test script to die. A certain function or method isn't implemented 941 (such as fork() on MacOS), some resource isn't available (like a 942 net connection) or a module isn't available. In these cases it's 943 necessary to skip tests, or declare that they are supposed to fail 944 but will work in the future (a todo test). 945 946 For more details on the mechanics of skip and todo tests see 947 L<Test::Harness>. 948 949 The way Test::More handles this is with a named block. Basically, a 950 block of tests which can be skipped over or made todo. It's best if I 951 just show you... 952 953 =over 4 954 955 =item B<SKIP: BLOCK> 956 957 SKIP: { 958 skip $why, $how_many if $condition; 959 960 ...normal testing code goes here... 961 } 962 963 This declares a block of tests that might be skipped, $how_many tests 964 there are, $why and under what $condition to skip them. An example is 965 the easiest way to illustrate: 966 967 SKIP: { 968 eval { require HTML::Lint }; 969 970 skip "HTML::Lint not installed", 2 if $@; 971 972 my $lint = new HTML::Lint; 973 isa_ok( $lint, "HTML::Lint" ); 974 975 $lint->parse( $html ); 976 is( $lint->errors, 0, "No errors found in HTML" ); 977 } 978 979 If the user does not have HTML::Lint installed, the whole block of 980 code I<won't be run at all>. Test::More will output special ok's 981 which Test::Harness interprets as skipped, but passing, tests. 982 983 It's important that $how_many accurately reflects the number of tests 984 in the SKIP block so the # of tests run will match up with your plan. 985 If your plan is C<no_plan> $how_many is optional and will default to 1. 986 987 It's perfectly safe to nest SKIP blocks. Each SKIP block must have 988 the label C<SKIP>, or Test::More can't work its magic. 989 990 You don't skip tests which are failing because there's a bug in your 991 program, or for which you don't yet have code written. For that you 992 use TODO. Read on. 993 994 =cut 995 996 #'# 997 sub skip { 998 my($why, $how_many) = @_; 999 my $tb = Test::More->builder; 1000 1001 unless( defined $how_many ) { 1002 # $how_many can only be avoided when no_plan is in use. 1003 _carp "skip() needs to know \$how_many tests are in the block" 1004 unless $tb->has_plan eq 'no_plan'; 1005 $how_many = 1; 1006 } 1007 1008 if( defined $how_many and $how_many =~ /\D/ ) { 1009 _carp "skip() was passed a non-numeric number of tests.

Perhaps it's 1031 because you haven't fixed a bug or haven't finished a new feature: 1032 1033 TODO: { 1034 local $TODO = "URI::Geller not finished"; 1035 1036 my $card = "Eight of clubs"; 1037 is( URI::Geller->your_card, $card, 'Is THIS your card?' ); 1038 1039 my $spoon; 1040 URI::Geller->bend_spoon; 1041 is( $spoon, 'bent', "Spoon bending, that's original" ); 1042 } 1043 1044 With a todo block, the tests inside are expected to fail. Test::More 1045 will run the tests normally, but print out special flags indicating 1046 they are "todo". Test::Harness will interpret failures as being ok. 1047 Should anything succeed, it will report it as an unexpected success. 1048 You then know the thing you had todo is done and can remove the 1049 TODO flag. 1050 1051 The nice part about todo tests, as opposed to simply commenting out a 1052 block of tests, is it's like having a programmatic todo list. You know 1053 how much work is left to be done, you're aware of what bugs there are, 1054 and you'll know immediately when they're fixed. 1055 1056 Once a todo test starts succeeding, simply move it outside the block. 1057 When the block is empty, delete it. 1058 1059 B<NOTE>: TODO tests require a Test::Harness upgrade else it will 1060 treat it as a normal failure. See L<CAVEATS and NOTES>). 1061 1062 1063 =item B<todo_skip> 1064 1065 TODO: { 1066 todo_skip $why, $how_many if $condition; 1067 1068 ...normal testing code... 1069 } 1070 1071 With todo tests, it's best to have the tests actually run. That way 1072 you'll know when they start passing. Sometimes this isn't possible. 1073 Often a failing test will cause the whole program to die or hang, even 1074 inside an C<eval BLOCK> with and using C<alarm>. In these extreme 1075 cases you have no choice but to skip over the broken tests entirely. 1076 1077 The syntax and behavior is similar to a C<SKIP: BLOCK> except the 1078 tests will be marked as failing but todo.

This means two test 1395 libraries which both use Test::Builder B<can be used together in the 1396 same program>. 1397 1398 If you simply want to do a little tweaking of how the tests behave, 1399 you can access the underlying Test::Builder object like so: 1400 1401 =over 4 1402 1403 =item B<builder> 1404 1405 my $test_builder = Test::More->builder; 1406 1407 Returns the Test::Builder object underlying Test::More for you to play 1408 with. 1409 1410 1411 =back 1412 1413 1414 =head1 EXIT CODES 1415 1416 If all your tests passed, Test::Builder will exit with zero (which is 1417 normal).

If no tests were ever run Test::Builder 1420 will throw a warning and exit with 255. If the test died, even after 1421 having successfully completed all its tests, it will still be 1422 considered a failure and will exit with 255. 1423 1424 So the exit codes are... 1425 1426 0 all tests successful 1427 255 test died or all passed but wrong # of tests run 1428 any other number how many failed (including missing or extras) 1429 1430 If you fail more than 254 tests, it will be reported as 254. 1431 1432 B<NOTE> This behavior may go away in future versions. 1433 1434 1435 =head1 CAVEATS and NOTES 1436 1437 =over 4 1438 1439 =item Backwards compatibility 1440 1441 Test::More works with Perls as old as 5.004_05. 1442 1443 1444 =item Overloaded objects 1445 1446 String overloaded objects are compared B<as strings> (or in cmp_ok()'s 1447 case, strings or numbers as appropriate to the comparison op).

So if a function starts returning overloaded 1450 objects instead of bare strings your tests won't notice the 1451 difference. This is good. 1452 1453 However, it does mean that functions like is_deeply() cannot be used to 1454 test the internals of string overloaded objects.

This is ok: 1463 1464 use threads; 1465 use Test::More; 1466 1467 This may cause problems: 1468 1469 use Test::More 1470 use threads; 1471 1472 5.8.1 and above are supported. Anything below that has too many bugs. 1473 1474 1475 =item Test::Harness upgrade 1476 1477 no_plan and todo depend on new Test::Harness features and fixes. If 1478 you're going to distribute tests that use no_plan or todo your 1479 end-users will have to upgrade Test::Harness to the latest one on 1480 CPAN. If you avoid no_plan and TODO tests, the stock Test::Harness 1481 will work fine. 1482 1483 Installing Test::More should also upgrade Test::Harness. 1484 1485 =back 1486 1487 1488 =head1 HISTORY 1489 1490 This is a case of convergent evolution with Joshua Pritikin's Test 1491 module. I was largely unaware of its existence when I'd first 1492 written my own ok() routines. This module exists because I can't 1493 figure out how to easily wedge test names into Test's interface (along 1494 with a few other problems). 1495 1496 The goal here is to have a testing utility that's simple to learn, 1497 quick to use and difficult to trip yourself up with while still 1498 providing more flexibility than the existing Test.pm. As such, the 1499 names of the most common routines are kept tiny, special cases and 1500 magic side-effects are kept to a minimum. WYSIWYG. 1501 1502 1503 =head1 SEE ALSO 1504 1505 L<Test::Simple> if all this confuses you and you just want to write 1506 some tests. You can upgrade to Test::More later (it's forward 1507 compatible). 1508 1509 L<Test> is the old testing module. Its main benefit is that it has 1510 been distributed with Perl since 5.004_05. 1511 1512 L<Test::Harness> for details on how your test results are interpreted 1513 by Perl. 1514 1515 L<Test::Differences> for more ways to test complex data structures. 1516 And it plays well with Test::More. 1517 1518 L<Test::Class> is like XUnit but more perlish. 1519 1520 L<Test::Deep> gives you more powerful complex data structure testing. 1521 1522 L<Test::Unit> is XUnit style testing. 1523 1524 L<Test::Inline> shows the idea of embedded testing. 1525 1526 L<Bundle::Test> installs a whole bunch of useful test modules. 1527 1528 1529 =head1 AUTHORS 1530 1531 Michael G Schwern E<lt>schwern@pobox.comE<gt> with much inspiration 1532 from Joshua Pritikin's Test module and lots of help from Barrie 1533 Slaymaker, Tony Bowden, blackstar.co.uk, chromatic, Fergal Daly and 1534 the perl-qa gang. 1535 1536 1537 =head1 BUGS 1538 1539 See F<http://rt.cpan.org> to report and view bugs. 1540 1541 1542 =head1 COPYRIGHT 1543 1544 Copyright 2001-2002, 2004-2006 by Michael G Schwern E<lt>schwern@pobox.comE<gt>. 1545 1546 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or 1547 modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. 1548 1549 See F<http://www.perl.com/perl/misc/Artistic.html> 1550 1551 =cut 1552 1553 1;
