#summary TPF Grant for Test::Builer2
#labels Phase-Requirements,TestBuilder2,TPF

These are the deliverables as stated in the [http://www.perlfoundation.org/test_builder_2 Test::Builder2 TPF grant] (sans mangled formatting)

= Deliverables =

  * Split up the Test::Builder object into an aggregate of objects.
      * Split up global shared Test resources into individual objects
          * The test counter
          * The output filehandles
          * The plan
          * ...
      * Split up localizable behaviors into objects
  
  * Allow individual test modules to locally override Test::Builder2 behaviors
  
  * Allow test modules to globally override Test::Builder2 behaviors
      * How the plan works
  
  * Allow hooks for global beginning and end of test functions.
      * Ensure multiple hooks "stack"
      * die on fail
      * debug on fail
      * ...
  
  * Hooks for global beginning and end of test actions
      * Example: A safer Test::NoWarnings
      * Example: Don't cleanup intermediate files on failure so they can be debugged
  
  * Allow for test output other than TAP
  
  * Allow another Test::Builder-like module to work in the same process as Test::Builder (for example, sharing the counter).
  
  * Rewrite Test::Builder in terms of Test::Builder2.
