Integrator::Test::ConfigData

Integrator::Test::ConfigData is a Perl module specifically designed for the transfer of configuration information in the TAP output. This module provides test functions that allow for easy automation of measurement and state information gathering from a test script and the subsequent loading of this information into the Integrator tool by Cydone Solutions.

The functions in this module essentially serve as wrappers around the 'ok' functions - for more information on this, please refer to Test::Simple on www.cpan.org. If you require additional information on the TAP format, you may also refer to Test::TAP::Model on www.cpan.org.

It's important to remember that each of the functions within this module is considered a single test statement and must be factored into your overall test plan. Additionally, this module is seen as a sub-class of Test::Builder.

To begin utilizing this module, you'll need to include it in your typical test.t file. You can do so using the following code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Test::More tests => 3; // declare your tests as usual
use Integrator::Test::ConfigData; // add this to have access to the module's functions

You can then utilize the various test functions provided by this module. Below are examples of different tests you can run:

- A test to produce a measurement in the TAP output:
my $fan_speed = function_that_returns_some_fan_speed();
measure( 'fan speed on FAN1', 'FAN_TACH1', $fan_speed, 'RPM', 0.1, 'TACH_123' );

- A test to declare a component state in the TAP output:
component( 'locking a blade in place', 'CPU_BLADE', 'SN0010023', 'HANDLE', 'LOCKED' );

- A test to store a config file in the TAP output:
config_file( 'last night temperature log', '/var/log/heat.log.00');

- A test to store config data in the TAP output:
my $string = 'SERIAL_NUMER=1234;18Sept1970';
config_data( 'last night temperature log', 'serial_number_and_date', $string);

Overall, Integrator::Test::ConfigData is an extremely useful Perl module that offers a streamlined solution for configuration information transfer in the TAP output.
