Quality Assurance

Now that I am starting to do things on my own instead of on a team, I am having to test my own software. Well, I am used to having someone test mine and me test theirs. Since that is no longer an option, can anyone suggest methods, ideas, or perl-based QA tools that will help me make sure the code that leaves my doors is the best it can be.

I admit it, I am Paco.

Combing through nodes by chromatic, as well as reading the article on perl.com will help out quite a bit. (Summary: use Test::More! :-) Chris M-x auto-bs-mode	[reply]

While I'm tempted to suggest posting all the code online, I realize this is not always possible (although you should still bring up the issue of Open Source and its benefits with your employer :). If you are required to keep the source closed, pay extra attention to security. I also recommend trying to break your code, throw everything at it and see how it holds up, if nothing else it sure is fun :)	[reply]
