DESCRIPTION
Test::More::Behaviour is a Behaviour-Driven Development module for Perl programmers. It is modeled after Rspec (http://rspec.info) the infamous BDD tool for Ruby programmers.
Because Test::More::Behaviour uses Test::More as its 'base', you can treat every Test::More::Behaviour test as if it were Test::More!
QUICK REFERENCE
This project is built with the philosophy that 'Tests are the Documentation'. For a full set of features, please read through the test scenarios.
- describe
-
Used to group a set of examples of a particular behaviour of the system that you wish you describe.
- it
-
An example to run.
- context
-
Used to further establish deeper relations for a set of examples. This is best used when several examples have similar interactions with the system but have differring expectations.
- before_all
- before_each
- after_each
- after_all
-
Used to define code which executes before and after each example or only once per example group.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Currently, each `it` will not run as a Test::More::subtest. This is because the coloring was not working correctly because subtest needed the description before evaluating the block passed in. If you can fix this, please submit a github pull request and I will take a look.
If you do find any bugs, please send me an email or send me a github pull request with a broken test (and your fix if you're able to) and I will be more than happy to fix.
