Test-Approvals Capturing Human Intelligence - ApprovalTests is an open source assertion/verification library to aid testing. Test::Approvals is the ApprovalTests port for Perl. For more information see: www.approvaltests.com What can I use ApprovalTests for? You can use ApprovalTests to verify objects that require more than a simple assert including long strings, large arrays, and complex hash structures and objects. Although modules exist which allow this kind of testing, ApprovalTests really shines when you need a more granular look at the test failure. Sometimes, trying to find a small difference in a long string printed to STDOUT is just too hard! ApprovalTests solves this problem by providing reporters which let you view the test results in one of many popular diff utilities. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Test::Approvals You can also look for information at: GitHub https://github.com/approvals/Perl-Test-Approvals ApprovalTests Homepage http://www.approvaltests.com LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2013 Jim Counts Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
