NAME
Test::Mini - lightweight xUnit testing for Perl
SYNOPSIS
use parent 'Test::Mini::TestCase';
sub setup { ... } # run before each test
sub teardown { ... } # run after each test
sub test_something {
...
}DESCRIPTION
Test::Mini is a light, spry testing framework built to bring the familiarity of an xUnit testing framework to Perl as a first-class citizen. Based initially on Ryan Davis' minitest, it provides a not only a simple way to write and run tests, but the necessary infrastructure for more expressive test fromeworks to be written.
Since example code speaks louder than words:
package t::Test
use parent 'Test::Mini::TestCase';
use strict;
use warnings;
# This will run before each test
sub setup { ... }
# This will run after each test
sub teardown { ... }
sub test_something {
my $self = shift;
$self->assert(1); # Assertions come from Test::Mini::Assertions
}
# Assertions can also be imported...
use Test::Mini::Assertions;
sub helper { return 1 }
sub test_something_else {
assert(helper());
}Like any traditional xUnit framework, any method whose name begins with 'test' will be automatically run. If you've declared 'setup' or 'teardown' methods, they will be run before or after each test.
CLASS METHODS
