[Perlunit-users] Talk on Test::Unit

[Jonas B. N. <jo...@wa...>]

Hello All,

I am a member of 'Copenhagen Perl Mongers', tomorrow we are having our =
monthly meeting and I am giving a brief overview of Test::Unit, together =
with a comparison with other perl test modules.

So what I did was to sit down a play around with the modules. So far I =
have focused on the OOP part (Test::Unit::TestCase) as outlined in the =
POD.

So I wrote a simple class, well actually the classic class Employee, you =
know the one that inherits from Person etc.

So I gave it the attributes name, department and title and then =
everything went wrong.

It seems the Test::Unit::TestCase suffers from a serious problem with =
namespace. I have had a look at jUnit, to see whether it is the same =
case here, but this does not seem to be the case, due to a different =
protection scheme - or a protection scheme if you like.

But shouldn't we look into getting this fixed?

I think that perl should be represented as one of the xUnit frameworks, =
but it should also work if it is supposed to stand a chance in the xUnit =
community.

All my perl code these days is OOP, so I would very much to contribute =
with as much to this work as I can, I can also contribute as a developer =
resource if you are in need of extra resources.
