Is Apache::Test the current state of the art when it comes to testing
that web apps work as expected?
I'm working on fleshing out the test suite for SVN::Web. I've already
got tests that verify that the basic functionality works, that generated
links are sane, and so on.
But I've been bitten a couple of times where I've made a change that's
broken mod_perl or mod_perl2 support. Since mod_perl isn't an area of
great expertise for me I want to automate this so that I can't make the
same mistake twice[1]
Apache::Test looks like it might be the way to go. But it doesn't seem
to play very nicely with Test::More, and comments like this in the
documentation:
Use Apache::TestMM in your Makefile.PL to set up your distribution
for testing.
give me the fear. I've already got my distribution set up, and it
doesn't use ExtUtils::MakeMaker...
Am I setting myself up for pain, or is there a nice simple approach to
doing this that I've overlooked?
