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This Skill eliminates the frustration of writing inconsistent, unreliable Perl test suites, navigating outdated testing frameworks, and missing critical code coverage gaps for Perl applications and modules.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