This software streamlines the smoking process of installed distros with an easy-to-use turnkey solution. It simplifies the user experience by automating the process while delivering high-quality results quickly.
CPAN::Reporter::Smoker::Safer is a highly functional Perl subclass of CPAN::Reporter::Smoker which has been exclusively designed to monitor and limit the set of tested distributions. For instance, it will only test those distributions which are labeled "trusted". To be considered as a trusted distribution, it must have already been installed on the system and must have been available on CPAN for a certain amount of time.
Furthermore, the distribution must have garnered a specific number of test reporters. The key concept behind this is that such distributions, and their dependencies, that meet these criteria hold minimal risk and are, therefore, safe to install. This feature can be used to run partial smoke tests on a system that otherwise would not be used for full smoke testing, for instance, a system that isn't isolated from other processes/machines.
Another possible use for this feature is to vet everything before upgrading to ensure that you're not installing a feature that could cause issues. There are several usage examples provided for this feature, such as controling the trust params for the filter.
The user can also define a custom filter based on authorid, and preview mode is available, which displays the distribution found by the program. This program is available on CPAN, and it enhances smoke testing by allowing you to limit tested distributions. It provides a higher level of security and confidence in your testing environment.
