Hi... Andy Lester, aka Petdance, the author of Perl's highly usable WWW::Mechanize module, is leading the effort to build a reasonable automated regression test for the 6000 modules that comprise CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. He's written a short and very interesting piece on the trials and tribulations of doing this, available from the oreilly.com website or from perl.com: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/01/13/phalanx.html . If you read this, you'll run across a fascinating concept unique to the Perl community of "kwalitee". If you can tolerate a few vulgarities, Michael Schwern's original announcement is still the best explanation of "kwalitee" I know of: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qa/149 . Interesting stuff. -Chris
agile-testing is an interesting list BTW. Worth a look in general.
