=head1 NAME

NPTest - Simplify the testing of Monitoring Plugins

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This modules provides convenience functions to assist in the testing
of Monitoring Plugins, making the testing code easier to read and write;
hopefully encouraging the development of a more complete test suite for
the Monitoring Plugins. It is based on the patterns of testing seen in the
1.4.0 release, and continues to use the L<Test> module as the basis of
testing.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

This module defines four public functions, C<getTestParameter(...)>,
C<checkCmd(...)>, C<skipMissingCmd(...)> and C<skipMsg(...)>.  These are exported by
default via the C<use NPTest;> statement.

=over

=item getTestParameter( "ENV_VARIABLE", $brief_description, $default )

$default is optional.

This function allows the test harness
developer to interactively request test parameter information from the
user. The user can accept the developer's default value or reply "none"
which will then be returned as "" for the test to skip if appropriate.

If a parameter needs to be entered and the test is run without a tty
attached (such as a cronjob), the parameter will be assigned as if it
was "none". Tests can check for the parameter and skip if not set.

Responses are stored in an external, file-based cache so subsequent test
runs will use these values. The user is able to change the values by
amending the values in the file /var/tmp/NPTest.cache, or by setting
the appropriate environment variable before running the test.

To facilitate quick testing setup, it is possible to accept all the
developer provided defaults by setting the environment variable
"NPTEST_ACCEPTDEFAULT" to "1" (or any other perl truth value). Note
that, such defaults are not stored in the cache, as there is currently
no mechanism to edit existing cache entries, save the use of text
editor or removing the cache file completely.

=item C<testCmd($command)>

Call with NPTest->testCmd("./check_disk ...."). This returns a NPTest object
which you can then run $object->return_code or $object->output against.

Testing of results would be done in your test script, not in this module.

=item C<checkCmd(...)>

This function is obsolete. Use C<testCmd()> instead.

This function attempts to encompass the majority of test styles used
in testing Monitoring Plugins. As each plug-in is a separate command, the
typical tests we wish to perform are against the exit status of the
command and the output (if any) it generated. Simplifying these tests
into a single function call, makes the test harness easier to read and
maintain and allows additional functionality (such as debugging) to be
provided without additional effort on the part of the test harness
developer.

It is possible to enable debugging via the environment variable
C<NPTEST_DEBUG>. If this environment variable exists and its value in PERL's
boolean context evaluates to true, debugging is enabled.

The function prototype can be expressed as follows:

  Parameter 1 : command => DEFINED SCALAR(string)
  Parameter 2 : desiredExitStatus => ONE OF
                  SCALAR(integer)
                  ARRAYREF(integer)
                  HASHREF(integer,string)
                  UNDEFINED
  Parameter 3 : desiredOutput => SCALAR(string) OR UNDEFINED
  Parameter 4 : exceptions => HASH(integer,string) OR UNDEFINED
  Returns     : SCALAR(integer) as defined by Test::ok(...)

The function treats the first parameter C<$command> as a command line
to execute as part of the test, it is executed only once and its exit
status (C<$?E<gt>E<gt>8>) and output are captured.

At this point if debugging is enabled the command, its exit status and
output are displayed to the tester.

C<checkCmd(...)> allows the testing of either the exit status or the
generated output or both, not testing either will result in neither
the C<Test::ok(...)> or C<Test::skip(...)> functions being called,
something you probably don't want. Note that each defined test
(C<$desiredExitStatus> and C<$desiredOutput>) results in a invocation
of either C<Test::ok(...)> or C<Test::skip(...)>, so remember this
when counting the number of tests to place in the C<Test::plan(...)>
call.

Many Monitoring Plugins test network services, some of which may not be
present on all systems. To cater for this, C<checkCmd(...)> allows the
tester to define exceptions based on the command's exit status. These
exceptions are provided to skip tests if the test case developer
believes the service is not being provided. For example, if a site
does not have a POP3 server, the test harness could map the
appropriate exit status to a useful message the person running the
tests, telling the reason the test is being skipped.

Example:

my %exceptions = ( 2 =E<gt> "No POP Server present?" );

$t += checkCmd( "./check_pop I<some args>", 0, undef, %exceptions );

Thus, in the above example, an exit status of 2 does not result in a
failed test case (as the exit status is not the desired value of 0),
but a skipped test case with the message "No POP Server present?"
given as the reason.

Sometimes the exit status of a command should be tested against a set
of possible values, rather than a single value, this could especially
be the case in failure testing. C<checkCmd(...)> support two methods
of testing against a set of desired exit status values.

=over

=item *

Firstly, if C<$desiredExitStatus> is a reference to an array of exit
stati, if the actual exit status of the command is present in the
array, it is used in the call to C<Test::ok(...)> when testing the
exit status.

=item *

Alternatively, if C<$desiredExitStatus> is a reference to a hash of
exit stati (mapped to the strings "continue" or "skip"), similar
processing to the above occurs with the side affect of determining if
any generated output testing should proceed. Note: only the string
"skip" will result in generated output testing being skipped.

=back

=item C<skipMissingCmd(...)>

If a command is missing and the test harness must C<Test::skip()> some
or all of the tests in a given test harness this function provides a
simple iterator to issue an appropriate message the requested number
of times.

=back

=item C<skipMsg(...)>

If for any reason the test harness must C<Test::skip()> some
or all of the tests in a given test harness this function provides a
simple iterator to issue an appropriate message the requested number
of times.

The rest of the code, as I have only commented on the major public
functions that test harness writers will use, not all the code present
in this helper module.
