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.
