test::unit::runner::terminal

Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			 Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal(3pm)

NAME

       Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal - unit testing framework helper class

SYNOPSIS

	   use Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal;

	   my $testrunner = Test::Unit::Runner::Terminal->new();
	   $testrunner->start($my_test_class);

DESCRIPTION

       This class is a test runner for the command line style use of the testing framework.

       It is similar to its parent class, Test::Unit::TestRunner, but it uses terminal escape sequences to continually update a more informative
       status report as the runner progresses through the tests than just a string of dots, E's and F's.  The status report indicates the number
       of tests run, the number of failures and errors encountered, which test is currently being run, and where it lives in the suite hierarchy.

       The class needs one argument, which is the name of the class encapsulating the tests to be run.

OPTIONS

       -wait
	   wait for user confirmation between tests

       -v  version info
