Bug ID: 1624399 Summary: Review Request: perl-TestML1 - Generic software testing meta language (version 1) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@fedoraproject.org Reporter: ppisar@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org
Spec URL: https://ppisar.fedorapeople.org/perl-TestML1/perl-TestML1.spec SRPM URL: https://ppisar.fedorapeople.org/perl-TestML1/perl-TestML1-0.57-1.fc30.src.rp... Description: TestML is a generic, programming language agnostic, meta language for writing unit tests. The idea is that you can use the same test files in multiple implementations of a given programming idea. Then you can be more certain that your application written in, say, Python matches your Perl implementation.
In a nutshell you write a bunch of data tests that have inputs and expected results. Using a simple syntax, you specify what functions the data must pass through to produce the expected results. You use a bridge class to write the data functions that pass the data through your application.
In Perl 5, TestML is the evolution of the Test::Base module. It has a superset of Test:Base's goals. The data markup syntax is currently exactly the same as Test::Base.
You may want to use perl-TestML instead that supports a new generation of the meta language.

This packaged software is a fork of TestML (already packaged as perl-TestML) because TestML will be upgraded to an incompatible version in the future. Thus the code and the spec files are very similar.
