Testing (other things) with Perl

2011-01-16 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi,

I just looked at http://qa.perl.org/ and I see it has 3 tabs on the left:

Home  / Testing your code  /Testing CPAN and Perl

I wonder if we could/should add another tab called
Testing other things with Perl
or
Testing with Perl
where we could showcase the tools in Perl that can be
used to test any application regardless of its language.

IT could mention things such as
TAP, Smolder, WWW::Mechanize,
Net::Telnet, Net::SSH and other Net::* modules
DBI/DBD* etc.

BTW I also tried to locate the source of the web site but I have not found it
on the web site. If it is not on the site, could it be added there?
Maybe on the http://qa.perl.org/siteinfo.html page.

I also found this page: http://www.perl.org/about/whitepapers/perl-testing.html
that might be linked from the QA website.

I have access to make changes, I'll update the siteinfo page.

Thread about the last set of updates:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.qa/2009/12/msg12465.html

If someone wants to give me more content / work on the site
I'm happy to implement, but it sort of fizzled out.


 I also found this page:
 http://www.perl.org/about/whitepapers/perl-testing.html
 that might be linked from the QA website.


Which is partly why I wrote that page, I'll add a link to it from the QA
site
if others are happy for me to do that.

Before adding new content to the QA site it would be worth someone working
out what the goal of the site is and double checking the existing content
is current.

Cheers
