NAME
    Test::Unit - the PerlUnit testing framework

SYNOPSIS
    This package provides only the project version number, copyright texts, and a framework overview
    in POD format.

DESCRIPTION
    This framework is intended to support unit testing in an object-oriented development paradigm
    (with support for inheritance of tests etc.) and is derived from the JUnit testing framework for
    Java by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma. To start learning how to use this framework, see
    Test::Unit::TestCase and Test::Unit::TestSuite. (There will also eventually be a tutorial in
    Test::Unit::Tutorial.

    However "Test::Unit::Procedural" is the procedural style interface to a sophisticated unit
    testing framework for Perl that . Test::Unit is intended to provide a simpler interface to the
    framework that is more suitable for use in a scripting style environment. Therefore, Test::Unit
    does not provide much support for an object-oriented approach to unit testing.

FEEDBACK
    The Perl Unit development team are humans. In part we develop stuff because it scratches our
    collective itch but we'd also really like to know if it scratches yours.

    Please subscribe to the perlunit-users mailing list at
    <http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perlunit-users> and let us know what you love and
    hate about PerlUnit and what else you want to do with it.
