NAME

Task::Toolchain::Test - Install most common test toolchain modules

VERSION

Version 0.01

SUMMARY

It's annoying sitting down at a new box and discovering that you don't have the latest testing modules installed. Or you're writing a test and and you find out that you didn't have Test::Exception installed after all.

Test Modules

This task installs relatively new versions of the following modules:

• Test::Simple

• Test::Harness

• Test::Exception

• Test::NoWarnings

• Test::Builder::Tester

• Test::Deep

• Test::Pod

• Test::Pod::Coverage

• Test::Kwalitee

• Test::Distribution

• Test::Warn

• Test::Differences

• Test::Spelling

• Test::MockObject

• Test::UseAllModules

• Test::Most

• Test::Class

• Test::Class::Most

How Were They Chosen?

Three criteria were used to choose the above list:

• Ovid's list of most popular testing modules.

  http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2010/01/most-popular-testing-modules---january-2010.html

• Modules that are easy to install.

  I love Test::WWW::Mechanize, but its high failure rate means that it was left off this list.

• Modules which should be more popular.

  This is where people might gripe because I not only included Test::Class, but also two of my *::Most testing modules. Though to be fair, I've written, have commit access or patches to much of the above list, so maybe all of this is an exercise in vanity. Sue me :)
