DESCRIPTION

Test::More::Behaviour is a Behaviour-Driven Development module for Perl programmers. It is modeled after Rspec http://rspec.info the infamous BDD tool for Ruby programmers.

Because Test::More::Behaviour uses Test::More as its 'base', you can treat every Test::More::Behaviour test as if it were Test::More!

QUICK REFERENCE

This project is built with the philosophy that 'Tests are the Documentation'. For a full set of features, please read through the test scenarios.

describe

Used to group a set of examples of a particular behaviour of the system that you wish you describe.

it

An example to run.

context

Used to further establish deeper relations for a set of examples. This is best used when several examples have similar interactions with the system but have differring expectations.

before_all

before_each

after_each

after_all

Used to define code which executes before and after each example or only once per example group.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Currently, each it will not run as a Test::More::subtest. This is because the coloring was not working correctly because subtest needed the description before evaluating the block passed in. If you can fix this, please submit a github pull request and I will take a look.

If you do find any bugs, please send me an email or send me a github pull request with a broken test (and your fix if you're able to) and I will be more than happy to fix.
