NAME
Test::Unit::Lite - Unit testing without external dependencies
SYNOPSIS
Bundling the Test::Unit::Lite as a part of package distribution:
perl -MTest::Unit::Lite -e bundle
Running all test units:
perl -MTest::Unit::Lite -e all_tests
Using as a replacement for Test::Unit:
package FooBarTest;
use Test::Unit::Lite; # unnecessary if module isn't directly used
use base 'Test::Unit::TestCase';
sub new {
my $self = shift()->SUPER::new(@_);
# your state for fixture here
return $self;
}
sub set_up {
# provide fixture
}
sub tear_down {
# clean up after test
}
sub test_foo {
my $self = shift;
my $obj = ClassUnderTest->new(...);
$self->assert_not_null($obj);
$self->assert_equals('expected result', $obj->foo);
$self->assert(qr/pattern/, $obj->foobar);
}
sub test_bar {
# test the bar feature
}
DESCRIPTION
This framework provides lighter version of Test::Unit framework. It implements some of the Test::Unit classes and methods needed to run test units. The Test::Unit::Lite tries to be compatible with public API of Test::Unit. It doesn't implement all classes and methods at 100% and only those necessary to run tests are available.
The Test::Unit::Lite can be distributed as a part of package distribution, so the package can be distributed without dependency on modules outside standard Perl distribution. The Test::Unit::Lite is provided as a single file.
Bundling the Test::Unit::Lite as a part of package distribution
The Test::Unit::Lite framework can be bundled to the package distribution. Then the Test::Unit::Lite module is copied to the inc directory of the source directory for the package distribution.
