NAME

       Test::Unit - the PerlUnit testing framework

SYNOPSIS

       This package provides only the project version number, copyright texts, and a framework overview in POD format.

DESCRIPTION

       This framework is intended to support unit testing in an object-oriented development paradigm (with support for inheritance of tests etc.)
       and is derived from the JUnit testing framework for Java by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma.  To start learning how to use this framework, see
       Test::Unit::TestCase and Test::Unit::TestSuite.	(There will also eventually be a tutorial in Test::Unit::Tutorial.

       However "Test::Unit::Procedural" is the procedural style interface to a sophisticated unit testing framework for Perl that .  Test::Unit is
       intended to provide a simpler interface to the framework that is more suitable for use in a scripting style environment.  Therefore,
       Test::Unit does not provide much support for an object-oriented approach to unit testing.

FEEDBACK

       The Perl Unit development team are humans. In part we develop stuff because it scratches our collective itch but we'd also really like to
       know if it scratches yours.

       Please subscribe to the perlunit-users mailing list at <http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perlunit-users> and let us know what
       you love and hate about PerlUnit and what else you want to do with it.
