The Practical Image Testing Architecture (PITA) is a collection of software for doing Big Testing. PITA is being created to allow the testing of any software package in any language on any configuration of any operating system on any hardware. The pr...

The "PITA::XML" package supports the various uses of XML throughout the PITA project....

While most of the PITA system exists outside the guest images and tries to have as little interaction with them as possible, there is one part that needs to be run from inside it. The "PITA::Image" class lives inside the image and has the responsibil...

All testing is run inside a Guest, a container object usually involving a system image and a configuration. This class implements the Guest abstraction....

While most of the PITA system exists outside the guest testing images and tries to have as little interaction with them as possible, there is one part that needs to be run from inside it. PITA::Scheme objects live inside the image and does three main...

The "PITA::XML::Test" class provides data objects that represent the output from a single test script....

"PITA::XML::Guest" is an object for holding information about a testing guest environment. A PITA Guest is a container with specific operating system and hardware that contains one or more testing contexts, represented in PITA::XML by PITA::XML::Plat...

The Perl Image Testing Architecture (PITA) is designed to provide a highly modular and flexible set of components for doing testing of Perl distributions. Within PITA, the PITA::XML::Report module provides the primary method of reporting the results ...

"PITA::XML::Install" is a data object that contains the complete set of information on a single test/install run for a distribution on a single host of an arbitrary platform....

"PITA::XML::Request" is an object for holding information about a request for a distribution to be tested. It is created most often as part of the parsing of a PITA::XML XML file. It holds the testing scheme, name of the distribition, file informatio...

"PITA::XML::Command" is an object for holding information about a command executed during the installation process. It holds the actual command, and the STDOUT and STDERR output....

"PITA::XML::Platform" is an object for holding information about the platform that a package is being tested on It can be created either as part of the parsing of a PITA::XML file, or if you wish you can create one from the local system configuration...

This class provides a small amount of functionality, and is primarily used to by drivers is a superclass so that all driver classes can be reliably identified correctly....

Although you won't need to use it directly, this class provides a "SAX Parser" class that converts a stream of SAX events (most likely from an XML file) and populates a PITA::XML with PITA::XML::Install objects. Please note that this class is incompl...

Looking after Guest images is a full time job. And so PITA::Guest::Storage provides a dedicated API for locating, verifying, storing, managing and serving the many gigabytes worth of image data that is typically stored in a Guest image library....

Although you won't need to use it directly, this class provides a "SAX Driver" class that converts a PITA::XML object into a stream of SAX events (which will mostly likely be written to a file). Please note that this class is incomplete at this time....

This distribution contains a small Qemu image intended for snapshot-mode testing of the PITA::Guest::Driver::Qemu module. Primarily, it is intended for testing the launch-shutdown cycle, and not for testing discovery or package testing. It verifies t...
