As I write my first set of Test::Builder based tests I'm looking for a
way to test the tests themselves, and make sure that they're doing the
right thing.
A quick peruse of CPAN has thrown up Test::Builder::Tester and
Test::Tester.
I've seen quite a few modules that use Test::Builder::Tester,
Test::Tester's new to me. Has anyone here used both, and able to report
on the experience?
Here we have a rich selection: Both modules are by reputable authors
who have contributed a lot to Perl. Mark Fowler makes reference to his
T::B::T in this talk from YAPC::EU::2003 in Paris:
http://2shortplanks.com/talks/yapce2003/testing.pdf. Meanwhile, James
FitzGibbon gave a talk, "Testing the Testers," comparing the two
distributions to Toronto Perlmongers in January 2005. He leans more
toward Fergal Daly's Test::Tester. You can get both slides and audio of
the talk here: http://hew.ca/talks_audio/
