Test::FITesque is a framework designed to emulate the FIT http://fit.c2.com framework, but with a more perlish touch. While it is possible to use the FIT framework from within perl, it has a lot of unnessecary overhead related to its origins in the Java world. It can be used to formulate tests in a structured manner rather than rely on doing it within a programming language. Such formulations are known as fixture tables. With this, you can * store fixture tables in whatever format you want (JSON, YAML, Storable, etc) * simplify the execution process to make it very transparent. * use the normal Perl testing tools * save the TAP output to more easily capture test results over time to track regressions and problematic tests. It also forms the basis for the Solid project test suite.
