QUALITY ASSURANCE

Running the test script 'Replace.t' found in the "Text-Replace-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file verifies the requirements for this module.

All testing software and documentation stems from the Software Test Description (STD) program module 't::Text::Replace', found in the distribution file "Text-Replace-$VERSION.tar.gz".

The 't::Text::Replace' STD POD contains a tracebility matix between the requirements established above for this module, and the test steps identified by a 'ok' number from running the 'Replace.t' test script.

The t::Text::Replace' STD program module '__DATA__' section contains the data to perform the following:

  • to generate the test script 'Replace.t'

  • generate the tailored STD POD in the 't::Text::Replace' module,

  • generate the 'Replace.d' demo script,

  • replace the POD demonstration section herein with the demo script 'Replace.d' output, and

  • run the test script using Test::Harness with or without the verbose option,

To perform all the above, prepare and run the automation software as follows:

  • Install "Test_STDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz" from one of the respositories only if it has not been installed:

    • http://www.softwarediamonds/packages/

    • http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/S/SO/SOFTDIA/

  • manually place the script tmake.pl in "Test_STDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz' in the site operating system executable path only if it is not in the executable path

  • place the 't::Text::Replace' at the same level in the directory struture as the directory holding the 'Text::Replace' module

  • execute the following in any directory:

    tmake -test_verbose -replace -run -pm=t::Text::Replace

NOTES

FILES

The installation of the "Text-Replace-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file installs the 'Docs::Site_SVD::Text_Replace' SVD program module.

The __DATA__ data section of the 'Docs::Site_SVD::Text_Replace' contains all the necessary data to generate the POD section of 'Docs::Site_SVD::Text_Replace' and the "Text-Replace-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file.

To make use of the 'Docs::Site_SVD::Text_Replace' SVD program module, perform the following:

  • install "ExtUtils-SVDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz" from one of the respositories only if it has not been installed:

    • http://www.softwarediamonds/packages/

    • http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/S/SO/SOFTDIA/

  • manually place the script vmake.pl in "ExtUtils-SVDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz' in the site operating system executable path only if it is not in the executable path

  • Make any appropriate changes to the __DATA__ section of the 'Docs::Site_SVD::Text_Replace' module. For example, any changes to 'Text::Replace' will impact the at least 'Changes' field.

  • Execute the following:

    vmake readme_html all -pm=Docs::Site_SVD::Text_Replace
