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

To migrate Perl tests from Test::More to Test2::V0, apply standardized testing patterns and practical TDD workflows. This transition establishes reliable, maintainable test suites across t/unit and t/integration directories using modern Test2 syntax.

What is the best way to measure Perl test coverage with Devel::Cover?

Measure Perl test coverage with Devel::Cover by running prove workflows against t/unit and t/integration suites. This validates test coverage across Perl modules and generates assessment reports highlighting untested code paths.

How do I use mocking in Test2::V0 for Perl unit tests?

Use mocking techniques within Test2::V0 to isolate Perl modules during unit testing. This supports a practical TDD workflow by stubbing dependencies and validating interactions within structured t/unit test suites.

Does Test2::V0 work with existing prove workflows for Perl integration tests?

Test2::V0 works with existing prove workflows for Perl integration tests. It provides patterns and examples for t/integration suites, enabling teams to validate test coverage and refactoring efforts within standard prove execution environments.

How do I add tests for a new Perl module using TDD?

Add tests for a new Perl module using TDD by following a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR loop with Test2::V0 and prove. This workflow builds reliable, maintainable test suites ensuring proper unit and integration coverage from the start.
