NAME

       Zonemaster::Test - module to find, load and execute all test modules

SYNOPSIS

           my @results = Zonemaster::Test->run_all_for($zone);
           my @results = Zonemaster::Test->run_module('DNSSEC', $zone);

TEST MODULES

       Test modules are defined as modules with names starting with "Zonemaster::Test::". They are expected to
       provide at least four class methods, and optionally a fifth one.

       all($zone)
           "all"  will  be  given  a  zone  object  as  its  only  argument,  and is epected to return a list of
           Zonemaster::Logger::Entry objects. This is the entry point used by the "run_all_for" and "run_module"
           methods.

       version()
           This must return the version of the test module.

       metadata()
           This must return a reference to a hash where the keys are the names of callable methods  implementing
           tests,  and  the  values  are references to arrays with the tags of the messages the test methods can
           generate.

       translation()
           This must return a reference to a hash where the keys are all the message tags the  test  module  can
           produce,  and  the corresponding keys are the english translations of those messages. The translation
           strings will be used as keys to look up translations into other  languages,  so  think  twice  before
           editing them.

       policy()
           Optionally,  a  test module can implement this method, which if implemented should return a reference
           to a hash where the keys are all the message tags the  module  can  produce  and  the  correspondning
           values are their recommended default log levels.

CLASS METHODS

       modules()
           Returns  a  list  with  the names of all available test modules except Zonemaster::Test::Basic (since
           that one is a bit special).

       run_all_for($zone)
           Runs all (default) tests in all test modules found, and returns a list of the log entry objects  they
           returned.

           The  order  in  which  the  test  modules  found  will  be  executed  is  not  defined,  except  that
           Zonemaster::Test::Basic is always executed first. If the Basic tests fail to indicate  a  very  basic
           level of function (it must have a parent domain, and it must have at least one functional nameserver)
           for the zone, no further tests will be executed.

       run_module($module, $zone)
           Runs all default tests in the named module for the given zone.

       run_one($module, $method, @arguments)
           Run  one particular test method in one particular module. The requested module must be in the list of
           active loaded modules (that is, not a module disabled by the current policy), and the method must  be
           listed  in  the  metadata the module exports. If those requirements are fulfilled, the method will be
           called with the provided arguments. No attempt is made to check  that  the  provided  arguments  make
           sense for the particular method called. That is left entirely to the user.
