Hi Tracy, Perhaps you are looking for reports and information on cpantesters.org:
http://static.cpantesters.org/recent.html http://stats.cpantesters.org/osmatrix-month.html You can drill down into some matrix cells, like PASS or a module name. You would need to explore their process more, to your organizations satisfaction. Hopefully, active cpantesters can give you better information than me. *Dag Rowe* QA Analyst, Team Lead Pythian - Love your data On 31 July 2013 16:46, Tracy Radel <tracy.ra...@shinemed.com> wrote: > Hi Dag,**** > > ** ** > > It is more an issue of documentation of how quality assurance is done for > Perl.
