Chicago Perl Mongers Meetings

Perl Unit and Functional Testing

Kent Cowgill

Tuesday August 14th 2007 at 7:00pm
Wheaton, Illinois Institute of Technology - Rice Campus, Room 103

Abstract

Kent will be talking about getting started with unit and functional testing using everyone's favorite language, Perl.

Additionally, he will talk about code quality, test coverage, and making things a lot easier on the person doing the testing using a Makefile.

Finally, Kent will talk about how he used Test::Harness to create a custom test module in order to be able to unit test the code in use at his job, which is a template framework that combines perl code with HTML, making traditional unit testing rather difficult.

Here is a link to the Chicago Perl Monger's website for the meeting.

As with all Chicago Perl Mongers meetings, everyone is welcome, whether or not you consider yourself a member. We look forward to seeing you there!
