perl-TestML1 - Generic software testing meta language (version 1)
- Description:
TestML is a generic, programming language agnostic, meta language for writing
unit tests. The idea is that you can use the same test files in multiple
implementations of a given programming idea. Then you can be more certain that
your application written in, say, Python matches your Perl implementation.
In a nutshell you write a bunch of data tests that have inputs and expected
results. Using a simple syntax, you specify what functions the data must pass
through to produce the expected results. You use a bridge class to write the
data functions that pass the data through your application.
In Perl 5, TestML is the evolution of the Test::Base module. It has a superset
of Test:Base's goals. The data markup syntax is currently exactly the same as
Test::Base.
You may want to use perl-TestML instead that supports a new generation of
the meta language.
