NAME

 Test::Cookbook - Write your tests as cookbooks

SYNOPSIS

With your test formatted as a cookbook in t/005_cookbook.t

        $> ./Build test
        
        $> ./Build test --test_files t/005_cookbook.t
        
        $> prove t/005_cookbook.t
        
        $> runtests t/005_cookbook.t
        
        $> pod_tested.pl -i t/005_cookbook.t -o cookbook.pod

DESCRIPTION

This module is wrapper around POD::Tested. POD::Tested let's you write POD containing tests. I use it mainly to write cookbooks with the ability to check the cookbook and generate part of it.

I started by writing tests, then I copied the tests into the cookbook. Then it hit me that both could be the same. That I could write my tests as cookbooks.

These are the advantages when writing your tests as cookbooks:

  • single file to manipulate, no copy/paste and the errors associated with it

  • your tests become much easier to read because they must be documented

  • you can manually generate cookbooks from your tests

  • you can generate cookbooks when your tests are run (not yet implemented)

  • design and document your modules in the tests
