Test::Continuous - Run your tests suite continusouly when developing.
This document describes Test::Continuous version 0.0.1
% cd MyModule/
% perl -MTest::Continuous -e runtests
Continuous Testing is a concept and tool to re-run software tests as soon as the developer saved the source code.
See also http://groups.csail.mit.edu/pag/continuoustesting/ for the original implementation of Continuous Testing as a Eclipse plugin.
See also Zentest http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/ for the same concept of implementation in Ruby's world.
This is the only function that you should be calling, directly from command line:
perl -MTest::Continuous -e runtests
It'll start monitoring the mtime of all files under current working directy. If there's any update, it'll run your module test under t/ directory with App::Prove.
Test result are displayed on terminal. Also dispatched to Growl if Log::Dispatch::MacGrowl is installed. Big plus for perl programmers on Mac.
Test::Continuous requires no configuration files or environment variables.
App::Prove, Log::Dispatcher, Log::Dispatch::MacGrowl
None reported.
