SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenges of maintaining high-quality Perl codebases by providing a structured, modern approach to testing that prevents regressions and ensures reliable software delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modern Assertions: Leverages Test2::V0 for superior diagnostics and deep structure comparison compared to legacy Test::More.
  • TDD Workflow: Enforces the Red-Green-Refactor cycle to ensure code is testable and robust from the start.
  • Coverage & Mocking: Includes strategies for measuring code coverage with Devel::Cover and isolating dependencies using Test::MockModule.

Quick Start

Run the perl-testing skill to execute all unit tests in the current project directory using the prove runner.

Frequently Asked Questions about perl-testing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement TDD workflows for Perl modules using Test2::V0?▼

You can execute Perl unit tests by running the skill in your project directory, which utilizes the standard prove runner to automatically discover and run your test suite.

How do I measure code coverage in Perl with Devel::Cover?▼

Code coverage analysis for Perl modules is measured using Devel::Cover, providing metrics on untested code paths to ensure comprehensive test coverage and maintainable software.

Does Test2::V0 work better than legacy Test::More for Perl testing?▼

You can isolate dependencies in Perl integration testing using Test::MockModule, which allows you to mock specific module behaviors and ensure reliable, isolated test execution.

Do I need the prove runner to execute Perl unit tests?▼

Yes, the standard prove runner is required to execute unit tests in your current project directory, forming part of the standard Perl testing toolchain needed for this testing strategy.
