Open Source Perl Test Frameworks

The Software Testing Automation Framework (STAF) is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments. The goal of STAF is to provide a complete end-to-end automation solution for testers.

QTest is a perl-based test framework for testing programs written in any language. It supports a "design for testability" mentality, user-defined test coverage, filters, and multithreading support. Includes documentation.

Automated Test Framework (ATF) is a functional test framework built on top of the existing Perl test harness. Currently it provides a simple interface for running tests in command line/shell environments on local and remote test target systems. The overall goal is to provide a simplified domain specific embedded language for testing. This is being published primarily to accompany a presentation on a test framework being used for verification of various firmware components that must operate together.

"Yet Another Do-It-Yourself (Test) Automation Framework" specification. Use or modify one of the existing software implementations (hosted/referenced here), or implement the framework yourself. Download and read the spec for more details.

Built on top of the CuTest framework, utf automates many of the tedious steps required to create a suite of test and makes it easy to test existing code not structured for unit testing.
