Hi,
the discussion whether to re-use Test::Database or develop a probably
common ancestor should base on goals, scope and requirements as it
seems to be reasonable for DBIT …
Goals: ("how will we know if this project is or is not a success")
G1: Out of the box any DBIT Test Case can be run against any
(suitable) driver tunable configuration.
G2: Supports beside DBI/DBD tests also applications and DBIC
Scope: (the boundaries and deliverables of the project)
S1: CREATE TABLE necessary?
S2: DBI::Mock ?
Requirements:
R1: Must not require DBI (for being useful for SQL::Statement)
R2: Must be able to distinguish between simple tests (where
driver defaults are fine) and exhaustive tests (all tunable's
shall be tested)
R3: Must be able to use environment settings for detailed
connection target information
R4: Must be able to rely on configuration for non-DBI/DBD test
cases (Applications, DBIC, …)
R4a: Must be able to determine / filter / reduce configuration
upon tests are running
==> for DBD::xyz (don't deliver DBD::abc DSN's)
==> for applications (deliver the DSN's for the DBD's
the application is using)
==> for DBIC and alike (deliver all configured DSN's)
Best regards
