Test::Continuous - Run your test suite continuously when developing.
Very simple usage:
% cd MyModule/ % autoprove
You may pass prove arguments:
% autoprove --shuffle
Continuous Testing is a concept and tool to re-run software tests as soon as the developer saves the source code.
Test::Continuous is a tool based on App::Prove that implements this concept for Perl.
Test::Continuous
See http://groups.csail.mit.edu/pag/continuoustesting/ for the original implementation of Continuous Testing as an Eclipse plugin. See also Zentest http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/ for the same concept implemented in Ruby's world.
This function starts monitoring the mtime of all files under current working directory. If there's any update, it runs your module tests under t/ directory with App::Prove.
You could call it from command line like this:
perl -MTest::Continuous -e Test::Continuous::runtests
However, it's recommended to use the autoprove program shipped with this distribution to do this instead.
Test::Continuous requires no configuration files or environment variables.
Your .proverc is NOT loaded, even though it's based on App::Prove.

App::Prove, Log::Dispatch, Log::Dispatch::DesktopNotification, Module::ExtractUse
It might not be compatible with all Test::Harness::* classes. Testing with remote harness classes basically works, but has some glitches. Help is appreciated.
