SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Perl testing patterns address the challenge of validating Perl code using modern testing tools like Test2::V0, Test::More, and prove, enabling robust TDD-guided development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Integrates Test2::V0 for advanced assertions and subtests
  • Supports migrating from Test::More to Test2::V0
  • Includes practical guidance for Test::More fundamentals, mocking, and coverage workflows with Devel::Cover
  • Provides a project structure and workflow examples for unit and integration testing

Quick Start

Install Perl tooling and run the test suite with prove -lv t/unit to validate your Perl modules.

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

To migrate Perl tests from Test::More to Test2::V0, update your scripts to use Test2::V0 for advanced assertions and subtests. The transition maintains compatibility while enabling modern TDD workflows across unit and integration tests.

What is the best way to structure a Perl TDD project with prove?

The best way to structure a Perl TDD project is organizing tests into unit and integration directories. You can validate modules by running the prove command with verbose flags, such as prove -lv t/unit, to execute the suite.

Does Test2::V0 work with existing Test::More testing workflows?

Yes, Test2::V0 works with existing Test::More workflows by supporting compatibility during migration. You can apply TDD workflows across unit and integration tests while incrementally adopting advanced assertions and subtests.

How do I use mocking and coverage tooling in Perl testing?

Mocking and coverage tooling in Perl testing utilize frameworks like Test2::V0 alongside Devel::Cover. This combination provides practical guidance for mocking dependencies and measuring code coverage within your TDD workflows.

When do I need Test2::V0 for validating Perl code?

You need Test2::V0 for validating Perl code when requiring advanced assertions and subtests beyond basic Test::More fundamentals. It supports modern TDD workflows, prove-based execution, and comprehensive coverage tooling.
