That threw me off when I first encountered jUnit. For much of the testing
world, a 'test' is a collection of one or more asserts which verifies that a
particular feature behaves the way that it should. So the following from
Test::Class will confuse folks not used to Perl:
sub foo : Tests(3) {
my $self = shift;
my $object = $self->class->new;
can_ok $object, 'foo';
ok $object->foo('bar'), '... and it should accept "bar"';
is $object->something, 'something else',
'... and it should properly update the object state';
}
For most of the testing world I've seen outside of Perl, that would be a single
test. Terminology will be a barrier.
