I'm sorry, but I simply do not believe "all the other testing frameworks" do
this. That being said:
There's a difference between behavior and intent:
can_ok $account, 'customers';
for my $customer ($account->customers) {
ok $customer->is_current, '... and it should only return current
customers';
}
How many tests is that? Just because your tests all passed doesn't mean that
it's the correct number of tests. (What if that doesn't return all of the
"current" customers?)
Premature exits are also caught with plans.
If you still want to calculate a plan on the fly:
use Test::More 'defer_plan';
# run tests
all_done($number_of_tests);
Note that $number_of_tests is optional.
Cheers,
Ovid
