Starting to right actual test scripts today. Using Test::Simple and Test::Harness.

Almost started using Text::Template to rewrite the apache config file so that it was happy in the test location.


So?

So, how goes it? Any nasty bugs uncovered?

No bugs, but it helped define what we can test before we go live and what is beyond our control.

Plus every time we made a change, there was a feeling of security from passing the tests.

We could be testing more, but that now means some redevelopment so that we can generate more testable data.

So, in conclusion, it really helps if you design for testing at the beginning.
