Description: What are some good links to Perl-specific testing documents? How about books or other offline documents? Why do you think these references are useful? Answer: What are some good testing references?

The standard Test::Tutorial is a must-read.
The POD in Test::Simple and Test::More is well-written.
And the following perl.com articles by chromatic are excellent:
Testing,
Test::MockObject
| Answer: What are some good testing references?
contributed by pernod In addition to trammell's suggestions above, for specification-based testing, tmoertel's Test::LectroTest is an excellent tool.
Test::LectroTest allows you to autmatically generate data-sets that tests larger areas of the problem space with ease. Read the module author's tutorial on the subject for a nice primer. | Answer: What are some good testing references?
