Write unit tests for config/inter/make.pm, the module whose functionality executes Parrot configuration step inter::make. Some tests have already been written for this module in the 'reconfigure' branch of the Parrot repository; see t/configure/108-inter_make.t in that branch (http://svn.perl.org/parrot/branches/reconfigure/). Some hints for how to proceed with testing may be found in that test file as well, including the following: "Since inter::make probes for the make program found on a particular OS, it will probably be difficult to achieve high branch or condition coverage. Check latest reports of Parrot configuration tools testing coverage to see where your time is best devoted. You will have to determine a way to test a user response to a prompt. In the course of writing tests, you should try to resolve RT 43171." Reports of the extent to which tests in the 'reconfigure' branch's t/configure/ directory cover the code in config/*/*.pm packages may be found here: http://thenceforward.net/parrot/coverage/configure-build/coverage.html Happy hacking! kid51
