Perl Testing

“Perl Testing bietet eine kompakte und umfassende Einführung ins Thema, wobei theoretische Betrachtungen […] außen vor bleiben. […] für einen schnellen Einstieg in dieses häufig etwas vernachlässigte Thema ist er aber genau richtig.” - Dr. Peter Dintelmann, iX 2⁄2006

“This book in Notebook Style has a very structured format which makes it easy to learn the topic step-by-step and to get support to many questions. […] This book fills a gap since in system programming - one of the central areas Perl is used - structured coding and testing code is often neglected.

Ian Langworth has been using Perl since 1997, and actively involved in the Perl community since 2003. In 2004 he contributed Apache-TinyCP and several Kwiki modules to CPAN, and spoke at Perl-related conferences such as YAPC, Usenix, and LISA. chromatic is the technical editor of the O’Reilly Network, specializing in programming, Linux®, and open source development. He’s also been known to evangelize to his co-workers toward better development practices. chromatic has occasionally produced startling numbers of test suites – and a few testing modules – for projects including Perl 5, Perl 6, and Parrot. Someday, he’d like to claim some responsibility for improving the quality of all software, by writing articles, producing good code, giving interesting talks, and developing better tools. He lives west of Portland, Oregon with a creek in his backyard and a park one house over. It’s too late for him to choose a more realistic-sounding pen name.
