SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Development::Assert qw();
        Meta::Development::Assert::assert_meq(3+4,7);

DESCRIPTION

This module is a set of functions to ease making assertions in the code and handling the result of a failed assertion in a centralized manner. The modules default behaviour is to throw an Error::Simple exception whenever an assertion fails.

FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

assert_true($$)

Assert that the value passed is indeed true.

assert_false($$)

Assert that the value passed is indeed false.

assert_eq($$$)

Assert that two numerical values are equal.

assert_ne($$$)

Assert that two numerical values are different.

assert_ge($$$)

Assert that one numeric value is greater or equal to the other.

assert_gt($$$)

Assert that one numeric value is greater than the other.

assert_le($$$)

Assert that one numeric value is less or equal to the other.

assert_lt($$$)

Assert that one numeric value is less than the other.

assert_seq($$$)

Assert that two values are the same string.

assert_sne($$$)

Assert that two values are not the same string.

assert_isa($$$)

Assert that an object is of a certain type.

is_number($)

Assert that the string given is a number.

TEST($)

This is a testing suite for the Meta::Development::Assert module. This test is should be run by a higher level management system at integration or release time or just as a regular routine to check that all is well.

Currently this test suite just makes a simple assertion.

SUPER CLASSES
