SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Perl testing in Perl projects often lacks modern guidance and cohesive patterns, making it hard to implement robust, maintainable test suites.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Covers Test2::V0 and Test::More usage, including modern TDD workflows.
  • Provides guidance on mocking, coverage tooling (Devel::Cover), and working with prove.
  • Use Case: When starting a new Perl module, follow the patterns to write green tests quickly and refactor safely.

Quick Start

Run a quick test suite using prove with Test2::V0 and coverage, starting from your project root.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write modern Perl tests using Test2::V0?▼

Writing modern Perl tests with Test2::V0 involves applying structured test-driven development patterns for accurate assertions and mocking. It enables teams to build reliable unit and integration test suites for Perl modules and refactor safely.

What's the best way to run a Perl test suite with code coverage?▼

The best way to run Perl testing with coverage is using the prove utility alongside Devel::Cover. This combination executes your Test2::V0 or Test::More test files and generates detailed metrics on your test suite's code coverage.

Does this TDD approach work with legacy Test::More tests?▼

Yes, modern Perl testing patterns support both Test::More and Test2::V0. You can apply best-practice test-driven development workflows to write accurate assertions and maintain reliable test suites across legacy and new modules.

How do I use mocking in Perl integration tests?▼

Mocking in Perl testing isolates module behavior by simulating dependencies during integration tests. Using Test2::V0 patterns, you can generate accurate mocks that ensure your test suites remain reliable and focused on the target code.

When should I use prove over manually running Perl test scripts?▼

Use prove for Perl testing when you need to execute multiple test files in parallel and aggregate their pass/fail results. It integrates directly with Test2::V0 and Devel::Cover to streamline your test-driven development workflow.
