in reply to Author tests or standard tests?

Hi, I think you are on the right track. It's not that xt == author. The main thing is that Perl module installers like cpanm will not run tests in /xt. Put tests in /xt that should not be run on installation of the module. I've always used them to test post-installation functionality. So an end user might still run them, but to test that the just-installed client can connect to the server, or to run a test that depends on a given DB being available, etc.

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
