NAME¶
Test::Unit - the PerlUnit testing framework
SYNOPSIS¶
This package provides only the project version number, copyright texts, and a
framework overview in POD format.
DESCRIPTION¶
This framework is intended to support unit testing in an object-oriented
development paradigm (with support for inheritance of tests etc.) and is
derived from the JUnit testing framework for Java by Kent Beck and Erich
Gamma. To start learning how to use this framework, see Test::Unit::TestCase
and Test::Unit::TestSuite. (There will also eventually be a tutorial in
Test::Unit::Tutorial.
However "Test::Unit::Procedural" is the procedural style interface to
a sophisticated unit testing framework for Perl that . Test::Unit is intended
to provide a simpler interface to the framework that is more suitable for use
in a scripting style environment. Therefore, Test::Unit does not provide much
support for an object-oriented approach to unit testing.

FEEDBACK¶
The Perl Unit development team are humans. In part we develop stuff because it
scratches our collective itch but we'd also really like to know if it
scratches yours.

it.
