Readme for Agent::TCLI::Package::Net version 0.03 This suite allows one to run tests for Network device functionality. INSTALLATION Install with Module::Build, using the following commands in the directory that this package unipped into: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install DEPENDENCIES Of course the Agent::TCLI core. You'll also need: POE::Component::Client::Ping POE::Component::Client::Traceroute POE::Component::Client::HTTP POE::Component::Server::SimpleHTTP FormValidator::Simple::Plugin::NetAddr::IP Email::MIME::Creator File::Slurp USING Passive Agents: One creates a script, see agent_net.pl, that loads up a TCLI transport with users, packages and other pertinent information. The agent will log in, join chatrooms if in the user list, and wait for further commands from authorized users or in a chatroom. Test script: A test script is written, see ex/probe.pl, that loads up a Test Transport, other necessary transports, necessary local packages, and testees. Using testees, one creates tests ala Test::More with the $testee->ok or $testee->like_body and other Testee tests. These will run asynchronously after the testing starts. It is necessary to call the test_master->run at the end of the test script to ensure that all tests have completed.
