Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test Suite Design: Offers guidance on structuring test suites for Perl modules or applications.
  • Test Coverage Analysis: Integrates Devel::Cover for in-depth coverage analysis.
  • Migrating Tests: Assists in migrating tests from Test::More to Test2::V0.
  • TDD Methodology: Provides TDD workflow instructions to write tests before code.

Quick Start

Activate the skill and provide a Perl module for analysis or specify the 'prove' command for running tests.

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?

Migrating Perl tests from Test::More to Test2::V0 involves updating your test scripts to utilize the new Test2::V0 framework syntax. This Skill provides specific guidance and instructions to assist you in smoothly transitioning your existing test suite.

What's the best way to structure a Perl test suite using prove?

Structuring a Perl test suite with the prove runner is streamlined through this Skill's test suite design guidance. It helps you organize Perl module tests effectively to ensure comprehensive coverage and maintainable TDD workflows.

How does Devel::Cover integrate with Perl testing for coverage analysis?

Devel::Cover integrates with Perl testing by analyzing your test execution to generate in-depth coverage reports. This Skill configures the Devel::Cover integration to identify untested code paths within your Perl modules.

Can I use Test2::V0 and Test::More in the same Perl test suite?

Yes, you can use Test2::V0 and Test::More within the same Perl test suite during a migration phase. This Skill supports workflows that require both dependencies, allowing you to transition incrementally without breaking existing tests.

When do I need Test-Driven Development methodology for Perl applications?

You need Test-Driven Development methodology for Perl applications when you want to write tests before implementing code logic. This Skill provides TDD workflow instructions to help you design robust Perl modules and ensure code reliability.

Why are my Test2::V0 tests failing to run with the prove command?

If Test2::V0 tests fail with the prove command, ensure the Test2::V0 dependency is correctly installed in your Perl environment. This Skill requires Test2::V0, Test::More, prove, and Devel::Cover to execute its testing solutions properly.
