lua-TestMore

Overview

lua-TestMore is a port of the Perl5 module Test::More.

It uses the Test Anything Protocol as output, that allows a compatibility with the Perl QA ecosystem. For example, prove a basic CLI, or Smolder a Web-based Continuous Integration Smoke Server.

It's an extensible framework. See lua-TestAssertion an extension which provides many Lua friendly assertions.

It allows a simple and efficient way to write tests (without OO style).

Some tests could be marked as TODO or skipped.

Errors could be fully checked with error_like().
