Perl Testing

A Developer's Notebook

Ian Langworth, Chromatic

208 pages, parution le 22/07/2005

Résumé

Is there any sexier topic in software development than software testing? That is, besides game programming, 3D graphics, audio, high-performance clustering, cool websites, et cetera? Okay, so software testing is low on the list. And that's unfortunate, because good software testing can increase your productivity, improve your designs, raise your quality, ease your maintenance burdens, and help to satisfy your customers, coworkers, and managers.

Perl has a strong history of automated tests. A very early release of Perl 1.0 included a comprehensive test suite, and it's only improved from there. Learning how Perl's test tools work and how to put them together to solve all sorts of previously intractable problems can make you a better programmer in general. Besides, it's easy to use the Perl tools described to handle all sorts of testing problems that you may encounter, even in other languages.

Like all titles in O'Reilly's Developer's Notebook series, this "all lab, no lecture" book skips the boring prose and focuses instead on a series of exercises that speak to you instead of at you.

Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook will help you dive right in and:

  • Write basic Perl tests with ease and interpret the results
  • Apply special techniques and modules to improve your tests
  • Bundle test suites along with projects
  • Test databases and their data
  • Test websites and web projects
  • Use the "Test Anything Protocol" which tests projects written in languages other than Perl

With today's increased workloads and short development cycles, unit tests are more vital to building robust, high-quality software than ever before. Once mastered, these lessons will help you ensure low-level code correctness, reduce software development cycle time, and ease maintenance burdens.

You don't have to be a die-hard free and open source software developer who lives, breathes, and dreams Perl to use this book. You just have to want to do your job a little bit better.

L'auteur - Ian Langworth

Ian specializes in broad knowledge of operating systems and programming languages and is a programmer for the Partner Solutions Organization at Google. He's contributed Perl modules to the CPAN, co-authored Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook, and spoken at Perl-related conferences such as LISA, YAPC and OSCON.

Ian left Northeastern University in Boston with a dual degree in Computer Science and Cognitive Psychology. He currently resides in Mountain View, California, where he bicycles to work whenever he can.

L'auteur - Chromatic

Chromatic is the technical editor of the O'Reilly Network, specializing in programming, Linux®, and open source development. He is the author of Extreme Programming Pocket Guide, a co-author of Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook, and the lead author of Perl Hacks..

Chromatic has occasionally produced startling numbers of test suites -- and a few testing modules -- for projects including Perl 5, Perl 6, Pugs, and Parrot. Someday, he'd like to claim some responsibility for improving the quality of all software, by writing articles, producing good code, giving interesting talks, and developing better tools.

He lives just west of Portland, Oregon with two cats, a creek in his backyard, and a park one house over. It's too late for him to choose a more realistic-sounding pen name.
