NAME

Task::Kensho::Testing - A Glimpse at an Enlightened Perl (Testing)

VERSION

This document describes Task::Kensho::Testing version 0.29

SYNOPSIS

    > cpan Task::Kensho::Testing

DESCRIPTION,

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensho:

    Kenshō (見性) (C. Wu) is a Japanese term for enlightenment
    experiences—most commonly used within the confines of Zen
    Buddhism—literally meaning "seeing one's nature"[1] or "true
    self."[2] It generally "refers to the realization of nonduality of
    subject and object."[3]

Task::Kensho is a first cut at building a list of recommended modules for Enlightened Perl development. CPAN is wonderful, but there are too many wheels and you have to pick and choose amongst the various competing technologies.

The plan is for Task::Kensho to be a rough testing ground for ideas that go into among other things the Enlightened Perl Organisation Extended Core (EPO-EC).

The modules that are bundled by Task::Kensho are broken down into several categories and are still being considered. They are all taken from various top 100 most used perl modules lists and from discussions with various subject matter experts in the Perl Community. That said, this bundle does not follow the guidelines established for the EPO-EC for peer review via industry advisers.

Starting in 2011, Task::Kensho split its sub-groups of modules into individually-installable tasks. These individual tasks will always install all their modules by default. This facilitates the ease and simplicity the distribution aims to achieve. Each Task::Kensho sub-task is listed at the beginning of its section in this documentation.

Testing: Task::Kensho::Testing

Test::Simple

Basic utilities for writing tests.

Test::Most

Most commonly needed test functions and features.

Test::Fatal

Test exception-based code

Test::Pod

Check for POD errors in files

Test::Pod::Coverage

Check for pod coverage in your distribution.

Test::Memory::Cycle

Check for memory leaks and circular memory references

Devel::Cover

Code coverage metrics for Perl

Test::Deep

Test deep data structures

Test::Requires

Make running a test conditional on a particular module being installed

Test::NoWarnings

Ensure that no (unexpected) warnings occur during testing

RELEASE SCHEDULE

Starting with release 0.18 Task::Kensho was moved to a monthly release cycle. This will facilitate a consistent schedule for upstream vendors to track the changes in Task::Kensho.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

This list is by no means comprehensive of the "Good" Modules on CPAN. Nor is this neccessarily the correct path for all developers. Each of these modules has a perfectly acceptable replacement that may work better for you. This is however a path to good perl practics, and a starting place on the road to Enlightened Perl programming.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-task-kensho-testing@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org.
