PG+ Test Harness

PG+ Test is a standalone, external, end-to-end testing harness and test development framework for Playground+ talkers.

PG+ Test is useful out-of-the-box as well as extensible; it . . .

• Comes with lots of ready-to-run examples
• Makes it easy to add your own custom tests
• Lets you customize and add comparison stub data by copying and pasting from your talker's output

PG+ Test is private; it . . .

• Installs and runs as a standalone application entirely within your local *nix/Mac system
• Acts as a user on your talker's remote or local test instance to exercise talker functionality
• Does not communicate with any third-party system
• Does not interact directly with talker source code
