I have been in a new role at work (different team but same org) for two months. i was supposed to be doing mostly sysadmin work which is what i was doing before, plus sofeware deployment and some of Perl webapp development ( both i had never done professionally ).
but i started to write Perl app from the day one which i am quite happy. now i just finished the second app. however, it occurred to me that no one here writes much test for their programs( either WebObjects or Perl ). Including me :~.
so my current goal is to learn testing. i have went through few articles from Perl.com and Test::Tutorial. the ones i found useful are
- Building Testing Libraries
- An introduction to Quality Assurance
also found a pdf version of Test::Tutorial (2004 version) which seems to be more content than the CPAN version.
There are lots Test::* modules out there and i am not sure which one is suitable for the usual Database, Form testing. the one s i found may useful are
- Test::Simple
-
- Test::More
- Devel::Cover
- Test::Deep
- Test::WWW::Mechanize
there are bunch of DBD:: mock modules seem good for DB testing.
arr.. i wish i went to the Toronto YAPC testing talks. :)
more Test::* module

Some more modules that I find useful:
- Test::TAP::HTMLMatrix
- Test::Perl::Critic
- Test::WWW::Selenium
- Test::Strict
- Test::Differences
- Test::POD
Test::DatabaseRow

If you're tests involve a database, you may find Test::DatabaseRow useful.
