[http://www.perlfoundation.org/parrot/index.cgi?convert_existing_tests_to_parrot Converting existing tests to Parrot] covers what you'll need to know about the format of a PIR test. If you're not familiar with the test suite functions, you'll want to review `parrot/runtime/library/Test/More.pir`. The functions section gives a description of the different testing functions, mainly: `plan`, `diag`, `ok`, `nok`, `is`, `is_deeply`, `like`, `isa_ok`, `skip`, `isnt` and `todo`. This is a good time to point out that POD can and usually is embedded in PIR files. So if you're in the root build directory, you can run the following to view the module documentation: |
