Test::Inter Description

Framework for more readable interactive test scripts Test::Inter is another framework for writing test scripts. It is loosely inspired by Test::More, and has most of it's functionality, but it is not a drop-in replacement.Test::More (and other existing test frameworks) suffer from two weaknesses, both of which have prevented me from ever using them: None offer the ability to access specific tests in a reasonably interactive fashion None offer the ability to write the tests in whatever format would make the tests the most readableDeveloper commentsThe way I write and use test scripts, existing Test::* modules are not nearly as useful as they could be. Test scripts written using Test::More work fine when running as part of the test suite, but debugging an individual test requires extra steps, and the tests themselves are not as readable as they should be.I do most of my debugging using test scripts. When I find a bug, I write a test case for it, debug it using the test script, and then leave the test there so the bug won't come back (hopefully). Requirements: · Perl
