Test::Unit::Assertion - The abstract base class for assertions
NAME
Any assertion class that expects to plug into Test::Unit::Assert needs to implement this interface.
Required methods
new Creates a new assertion object. Takes whatever arguments you desire. Isn't strictly necessary for the framework to work with this
class but is generally considered a good idea.
do_assertion
This is the important one. If Test::Unit::Assert::assert is called with an object as its first argument then it does:
$_[0]->do_assertion(@_[1 .. $#_]) ||
$self->fail("Assertion failed");
This means that "do_assertion" should return true if the assertion succeeds and false if it doesn't. Or, you can fail by throwing a
Test::Unit::Failure object, which will get caught further up the stack and used to produce a sensible error report. Generally it's good
practice for do_assertion to die with a meaningful error on assertion failure rather than just returning false.

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.
