=head1 DESCRIPTION

The "Test::Tech" module extends the capabilities of the "Test" module.

The design is simple. 
The "Test::Tech" module loads the "Test" module without exporting
any "Test" subroutines into the "Test::Tech" namespace.
There is a "Test::Tech" cover subroutine with the same name
for each "Test" module subroutine.
Each "Test::Tech" cover subroutine will call the &Test::$subroutine
before or after it adds any additional capabilities.
The "Test::Tech" module procedural (subroutine) interface 
is a drop-in for the "Test" module.

The "Test::Tech" has a hybrid interface. The subroutine/methods that use
object data are the 'new', 'ok', 'skip', 'skip_tests', 'tech_config' and 'finish'
subroutines/methods.

When the module is loaded it creates a default object. If any of the
above subroutines/methods are used procedurally, without a class or
object, the subroutine/method will use the default method. 

The "Test::Tech" module extends the capabilities of
the "Test" module as follows:

Compare almost any data structure by passing variables
through the L<Data::Secs2::stringify() subroutine|Data::Secs2/stringify subroutine>
before making the comparision

=item *

Method to skip the rest of the tests, with a $dianostic input,
upon a critical failure. 

=item *

Adds addition $name, [@option], {@option} inputs to the ok and skip subroutines.
The $name input is print as  "ok $test_num - $name" or "not ok $test_num - $name".

=item *

Method to generate demos that appear as an interactive
session using the methods under test

=back

=head2 demo subroutine

 demo($quoted_expression, @expression)

The demo subroutine/method provides a session like out.
The '$quoted_express' is printed out as typed in from
the keyboard.
The '@expression' is executed and printed out as the
results of '$quoted_expression'.


=head2 finish subroutine

 (@stats) = $tech->finish( );
 $num_passed = $tech->finish( );

The C<finish()> subroutine/method restores changes made
to the C<Test> module module made by the 
C<tech_config> subroutine/method or directly.

When the C<new> subroutine/method creates a C<Test::Tech>
object.
Perl will automatically run the
C<finish()> method when that object is destoried.

Running the 'finish' method without a class or object,
restores the 'Test' module to the values when
the 'Test::Tech' module was loaded.

When used in an array context
the C<finish()> subroutine/method 
returns the C<@stats> array.
The C<@stats> array consists of the following:

The C<finish()> subroutine resets the C<last_test> and
to zero and will returns undef without
performing any of the above. 
The C<finish()> subroutine will not be active again
until a new test run is start with  C<&Test::Tech::plan>
and the first test performed by C<&Test::Tech::ok> or
C<&Test::Tech::skip>.

In a scalar contents, the C<finish()> subroutine/method outputs
a 1 for sucess and 0 for failure.
In an array context,
the C<finish()> subroutine/method outputs C<@stats>
array that consists of the following:

=over 4

=item 0

number of tests

This is calculated as the maximum of the tests planned
and the highest test number. From the maximum, substract
the skipped tests. In other words, the sum of the missed,
passed and failed test steps.

=item 1

reference to the unplanned test steps

=item 2

reference to the missed test steps

=item 3

reference to the skipped test steps

=item 4

reference to the passed test steps

=item 5

reference to the failed test steps

=back

=head2 is_skip

 $skip_on = is_skip( );
 ($skip_on, $skip_diag) = is_skip( );

Returns the object data set by the C<set_tests> subroutine.

=head2 ok subroutine

 $test_ok = ok($actual_results, $expected_results, $diagnostic, $test_name, [@options]);
 $test_ok = ok($actual_results, $expected_results, $diagnostic, $test_name, {@options});

The $diagnostic, $test_name, [@options], and {@options} inputs are optional.
The $actual_results and $expected_results inputs may be references to
any type of data structures.  The @options is a hash input that will
process the 'diagnostic' key the same as the $diagnostic input and the
'name' key the same as the $test_name input.

The I<ok> method is a cover function for the &Test::ok subroutine
that extends the &Test::ok routine as follows:

=over 4

=item *

Prints out the I<$test_name> to provide an English identification
of the test. The $test_name appears as either "ok $test_num - $name" or
"not ok $test_num - $name".

=item *

The I<ok> subroutine passes referenced inputs
I<$actual_results> and I<$expectet_results> through 
L<Data::Secs2::stringify() subroutine|Data::Secs2/stringify subroutine>.
The I<ok> method then uses &Test::ok to compare the text results
from L<Data::Secs2::stringify() subroutine|Data::Secs2/stringify subroutine>.

=item *

The I<ok> subroutine method passes variables that are not a reference
directly to &Test::ok unchanged.

=item *

Responses to a flag set by the L<skip_tests subroutine|Test::Tech/skip_tests> subroutine
and skips the test completely.

=back

=head2 skip subroutine

 $test_ok = skip($actual_results, $expected_results, $diagnostic $test_name, [@options]);
 $test_ok = skip($actual_results, $expected_results, $diagnostic $test_name, {@options});

The $diagnostic, $test_name, [@options], and {@options} inputs are optional.
The $actual_results and $expected_results inputs may be references to
any type of data structures.  The @options is a hash input that will
process the 'diagnostic' key the same as the $diagnostic input and the
'name' key the same as the $test_name input.

The I<skip> subroutine is a cover function for the &Test::skip subroutine
that extends the &Test::skip the same as the 
L<ok subroutine|Test::Tech/ok> subroutine extends
the I<&Test::ok> subroutine.

=head2 plan subroutine

 $success = plan(@args);

The I<plan> subroutine is a cover method for &Test::plan.
The I<@args> are passed unchanged to &Test::plan.
All arguments are options. Valid options are as follows:

=over 4

=item tests

The number of tests. For example

 tests => 14,

=item todo

An array of test that will fail. For example

 todo => [3,4]

=item onfail

A subroutine that the I<Test> module will
execute on a failure. For example,

 onfail => sub { warn "CALL 911!" } 

=back


=head2 skip_tests method

 $skip_on = skip_tests( $on_off );
 $skip_on = skip_tests( );

The I<skip_tests> subroutine sets a flag that causes the
I<ok> and the I<skip> methods to skip testing.

=head2 stringify subroutine

 $string = stringify( $var );

The I<stringify> subroutine will stringify I<$var> using
the "L<Data::Secs2::stringify subroutine|Data::Secs2/stringify subroutine>" 
module only if I<$var> is a reference;
otherwise, it leaves it unchanged.

=head2 tech_config subroutine

 $old_value = tech_config( $dot_index, $new_value );

The I<tech_config> subroutine reads and writes the
below configuration variables

 dot index              contents           mode
 --------------------   --------------     --------
 Test.ntest             $Test::ntest       read only 
 Test.TESTOUT           $Test::TESTOUT     read write
 Test.TestLevel         $Test::TestLevel   read write
 Test.ONFAIL            $Test::ONFAIL      read write
 Test.TESTERR           $Test::TESTERR     read write
 Skip_Tests             # boolean          read write
 
The I<tech_config> subroutine always returns the
I<$old_value> of I<$dot_index> and only writes
the contents if I<$new_value> is defined.

The 'SCALAR' and 'ARRAY' references are transparent.
The I<tech_config> subroutine, when it senses that
the I<$dot_index> is for a 'SCALAR' and 'ARRAY' reference,
will read or write the contents instead of the reference.

The The I<tech_config> subroutine will read 'HASH" references
but will never change them. 

The variables for the top level 'Dumper' I<$dot_index> are
established by "L<Data::Dumper|Data::Dumper>" module;
for the top level 'Test', the "L<Test|Test>" module.

=head2 Test Script Notes

Running the test script 'Tech.t' found in
the "Test-Tech-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file verifies
the requirements for this module.

All testing software and documentation
stems from the 
Software Test Description (L<STD|Docs::US_DOD::STD>)
program module 't::Test::Tech::Tech',
found in the distribution file 
"Test-Tech-$VERSION.tar.gz". 

The 't::Test::Tech::Tech' L<STD|Docs::US_DOD::STD> POD contains
a tracebility matix between the
requirements established above for this module, and
the test steps identified by a
'ok' number from running the 'Tech.t'
test script.

The t::Test::Tech::Tech' L<STD|Docs::US_DOD::STD>
program module '__DATA__' section contains the data 
to perform the following:

=over 4

=item *

to generate the test script 'Tech.t'

=item *

generate the tailored 
L<STD|Docs::US_DOD::STD> POD in
the 't::Test::Tech::Tech' module, 

=item *

generate the 'Tech.d' demo script, 

=item *

replace the POD demonstration section
herein with the demo script
'Tech.d' output, and

=item *

run the test script using Test::Harness
with or without the verbose option,

=back

To perform all the above, prepare
and run the automation software as 
follows:

=over 4

=item *

Install "Test_STDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz"
from one of the respositories only
if it has not been installed:

=over 4

=item *

http://www.softwarediamonds/packages/

=item *

http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/S/SO/SOFTDIA/

=back
  
=item *

manually place the script tmake.pl
in "Test_STDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz' in
the site operating system executable 
path only if it is not in the 
executable path

=item *

place the 't::Test::Tech::Tech' at the same
level in the directory struture as the
directory holding the 'Test::Tech'
module

=item *

execute the following in any directory:

 tmake -test_verbose -replace -run -pm=t::Test::Tech::Tech

=back

=head1 NOTES

=head2 FILES

The installation of the
"Test-Tech-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file
installs the 'Docs::Site_SVD::Test_Tech'
L<SVD|Docs::US_DOD::SVD> program module.

The __DATA__ data section of the 
'Docs::Site_SVD::Test_Tech' contains all
the necessary data to generate the POD
section of 'Docs::Site_SVD::Test_Tech' and
the "Test-Tech-$VERSION.tar.gz" distribution file.

To make use of the 
'Docs::Site_SVD::Test_Tech'
L<SVD|Docs::US_DOD::SVD> program module,
perform the following:

=over 4

=item *

install "ExtUtils-SVDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz"
from one of the respositories only
if it has not been installed:

=over 4

=item *

http://www.softwarediamonds/packages/

=item *

http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/S/SO/SOFTDIA/

=back

=item *

manually place the script vmake.pl
in "ExtUtils-SVDmaker-$VERSION.tar.gz' in
the site operating system executable 
path only if it is not in the 
executable path

=item *

Make any appropriate changes to the
__DATA__ section of the 'Docs::Site_SVD::Test_Tech'
module.
For example, any changes to
'File::Package' will impact the
at least 'Changes' field.

=item *

Execute the following:

 vmake readme_html all -pm=Docs::Site_SVD::Test_Tech
