PerlTestingTools

Last edit August 12, 2014
Perl has quite an active testing community - see http://qa.perl.org/ for an overview and pointers to introductory tutorial information.

An overview of some of the testing modules available on CPAN is at http://qa.perl.org/test-modules.html

A quick reference card for Perl testing modules is at http://langworth.com/PerlTestCard

There are a whole family of Perl Testing tools including:

  • Test::Simple
  • Test::More
  • Test::Inline
  • Test::Harness
  • CGI::Test
  • Test::Cmd
  • Devel::Cover
  • HTTP::WebTest which provides PerlWebTest
  • Test::FIT
  • LectroTest is an automatic, specification-based testing system for Perl
  • ... (fill in more here!)

Discussion of these occurs on the PerlQaMailingList
