Test Anything Protocol

The Test Anything Protocol (TAP) is a general purpose format for transmitting the result of test programs to a thing which interprets and takes action on those results. Though it is language agnostic, it is primarily used by Perl modules.TAP's general format is: 1..N ok 1 Description # Directive # Diagnostic .... ok 47 Description ok 48 Description more tests.... For example, a test file's output might look like: 1..4 ok 1 - Input file opened not ok 2 - First line of the input valid ok 3 - Read the rest of the file not ok 4 - Summarized correctly # TODO Not written yet
