This looks a lot like Test.pm

Hi

I've just had a quick read over the Oaf:: code, and it looks a lot like
a reimplementation of the standard Test:: modules (Test.pm,
Test::Harness, Test::More, etc) that come bundled with Perl by default.

How do you see Oaf as being different to these standard testing
mechanisms.

Additionally, does Oaf interoperate cleanly with TAP and the Test::
modules?

Hi Adam,

Yes there are some similarities between OAF and the Test::* projects in Perl, however they have different aims. First OAF isn't really a unit testing framework, while it could be used for this it wouldn't be the best use of the project.

OAF is really targeted at Test Engineering groups that want to quickly bring up integration and system testing. It provides test bed management, persistent variable storage across different executed scripts, a scheduler, and a logging mechanism.

Hope that helps,

Allen
