NAME

DTS_UT::Test::Harness::Straps::NoExec - subclass of Test::Harness::Straps to eval test file code instead of forking a process to execute it.

DESCRIPTION

DTS_UT::Test::Harness::Straps::NoExec will execute a test file code (Perl code, of course) by using an eval instead of forking a process to execute the script and read the results from it.

This is usefull to execute test in a web application running in a Apache/mod_perl or IIS/PerlEz environment, were forking a new process from the server process itself is never a good idea for performance reasons. There are some issues forking with IIS 5 with Perl, so this modules solves this problem as well.

DTS_UT::Test::Harness::Straps::NoExec is a hack from Test::Harness::Straps module. Those modules are not maintained anyore, so if you're taking serious about using it, my recomendation is that you check out TAP::Parser module documentation.

EXPORT

Everything that Test::Harness::Straps does.

METHODS

new

It expects as a parameter a DTS_UT::Model::UnitTest object.
