NAME¶
Perl::Critic::Policy::TestingAndDebugging::RequireTestLabels - Tests should all
have labels.
AFFILIATION¶
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION¶
Most Perl modules with regression tests use Test::More as infrastructure for
writing and running those tests. It has an easy, procedural syntax for writing
comparisons of results to expectations.
Most of the Test::More functions allow the programmer to add an optional label
that describes what each test is trying to judge. When a test goes wrong,
these labels are very useful for quickly determining where the problem
originated.
This policy enforces that all Test::More functions have labels where applicable.
This only applies to code that has a "use Test::More" or
"require Test::More" declaration (see below to add more test modules
to the list).
CONFIGURATION¶
A list of additional modules to require label parameters be passed to their
methods can be specified with the "modules" option. The list must
consist of whitespace-delimited, fully-qualified module names. For example:
[TestingAndDebugging::RequireTestLabels]
modules = My::Test::SubClass Some::Other::Module
The module list always implicitly includes Test::More.
