Spreadsheet::WriteExcel test (Score:2, Informative)
The reason that there aren't more tests is that there isn't any way to test the module apart from creating a file, opening it in Excel, checking if the required features are okay and then closing it again. This isn't something that can be automated on a cross-platform basis.
It would be possible to generate an Excel file, MD5 the results and check it agai
Re:Spreadsheet::WriteExcel test (Score:2)
I guess what I expected to see were tests where you write particular strings and numbers to a cell or group of cells, then check to see if the values written to the file are what you expect (like an "od" check or something). I realize that this is somewhat artificial, but it would at least let you know if you had made any *obvious* errors.
I realize the acid test is to just open the file in Excel and see if it worked. I was just hoping there would be some intermediate testing I could do. :)
