Test::...torial(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to Test::Unit::Tutorial 💖 — it's the tutorial page for unit testing, the Test::Unit one. Yes, it lives in the Test::...torial(3pm) corner of the perl docs, we love a quirky filename, no notes 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

That's it. That's the whole invocation. Slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this is supposed to be the place with extensive documentation on what unit testing even is, why it's useful, and how to do it with the Test::Unit collection of modules. That's the goal. That's the dream. ✨

Bestie, real talk: it is not implemented yet. Sorry. 😭 The docs say sorry, so I say sorry. We're all sorry together.

So what do you do instead? A few things:

• Go look at the examples in the examples directory 👀
• Read the README file that came with this distribution 📖
• There's a short tutorial on how to use the unit testing framework included in Test::Unit::TestCase — go read that one, it actually exists 💖
• Want even more examples? Peek at the self test collection, starting in t::tlib::AllTests 🔥
