SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the frustration of writing inconsistent, unreliable Perl test suites, navigating outdated testing frameworks, and missing critical code coverage gaps for Perl applications and modules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD Workflow Guidance: Step-by-step red-green-refactor cycle for Perl development, with concrete code examples for writing tests before implementation.
  • Modern Testing Frameworks: Comprehensive coverage of Test2::V0 modern assertions and legacy Test::More fundamentals for both new and existing Perl projects.
  • Tooling & Automation: prove runner commands, mocking patterns with Test::MockModule, and Devel::Cover coverage reporting setup for CI integration.
  • Use Case Example: A Perl developer migrating a legacy test suite from Test::More to Test2::V0 can use this Skill to update assertion syntax, configure parallel test runs, and set up coverage thresholds for continuous integration.

Quick Start

Use the perl-testing skill to build a complete test suite for your new Perl module following TDD principles, with Test2::V0 assertions and coverage validation.

Frequently Asked Questions about perl-testing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Perl tests from Test::More to Test2::V0?

Setting up Devel::Cover coverage reporting for Perl tests involves configuring the tool to track executed statements and branches. This skill guides Devel::Cover setup for CI integration to enforce test coverage thresholds and identify untested code paths.

Can I use Test::MockModule to mock external dependencies in Perl test suites?

Implementing TDD red-green-refactor in Perl involves writing failing Test2::V0 tests first, developing code to pass them, and then refactoring. This skill provides step-by-step TDD workflow guidance with concrete code examples for Perl module development.

What is the best way to optimize prove runner commands for Perl test execution?

Optimizing prove runner commands for Perl test execution involves configuring parallel test runs and selecting appropriate runner options. This skill provides prove runner commands and automation patterns to streamline Test2 test suite execution.

Does Test2::V0 work with legacy Test::More test scripts in Perl?

Test2::V0 works alongside legacy Test::More test scripts in Perl, allowing incremental migration rather than full rewrites. This skill supports both modern Test2::V0 assertions and legacy Test::More fundamentals for new and existing Perl projects.
