Suppose I fix a bug with a unique bug ID in a bug tracking system. I start by dutifully adding 15 new asserts, say, to an existing unit test program, to duplicate the bug before I fix it. What if I later want some way to map the bug ID back to the these 15 new asserts? Should I somehow assign unique IDs to my unit tests -- if so, at what level of granularity? If I keep some sort of external test case database, I'm worried about the overhead of keeping my (typically fairly volatile) unit test programs in sync with the database.
Does the Perl core deal with this somehow? That is, suppose you have an RT ticket, is there a way to find out which of Perl's 80,164 tests tests for it? /-\ Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com
