                   Chicago Perl Mongers Meeting Announcement

       Topic: Perl Unit and Functional Testing
   Presenter: Kent Cowgill
   Date/Time: Tuesday, September 25th, 2007, 7:00 PM
    Location: Performics, 12th Floor, 180 N. LaSalle, Chicago, IL

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kent will be talking about getting started with unit and functional testing
using everyone's favorite language, Perl.

Additionally, he will talk about code quality, test coverage, and making
things a lot easier on the person doing the testing using a Makefile.

Finally, Kent will talk about how he used Test::Builder::Module to create
a custom test module in order to be able to unit test the code in use at
his job, which is a template framework that combines Perl code with HTML,
making traditional unit testing rather difficult.


Kent Cowgill has been a Perl programmer and system administrator for over a
dozen years.  Recently, he's written a large test suite for a legacy system,
using reverse engineering, namespace manipulation and several Perl modules
(such as Test::MockObject, Devel::Cover and HTML::Lint).


As with all Chicago Perl Mongers meetings, everyone is welcome,
whether or not you consider yourself a member. We look forward to
seeing you there!
