DESCRIPTION This is Test::Group, a companion module to Test::Builder. It allows to lump tests and fixture into groups that make sense together. For example: use Test::More tests => 1; use Test::Group; test "hammering the server" => sub { ok(I_can_connect); for(1..1000) { ok(I_can_make_a_request); } }; produces 1..1 ok 1 - hammering the server Diagnostics of failed subtests are shown, but successful subtests are muted. This makes the test output very legible even to the naked eye. Test::Group has no dependencies besides what is provided in stock Perl 5.8.8. It also works under Perl 5.6.1 and 5.8.x (with dependencies). Test::Group has been in use in my shop under a different name for years, and has provided significant productivity improvements over plain Test::More in test-driven development. Note that you may want to investigate another CPAN module, Test::Class by Adrian Howard, which is older and offers a similar feature. But being a full-fledged test framework it is also a little bit more cumbersome to use if all you want to do is to group tests. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Or alternatively if you have Module::Build installed, perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2006 IDEALX and Dominique Quatravaux Copyright (C) 2009 Nick Cleaton This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
