Fennec started as a project to improve the state of testing in perl. fennec looks to existing solutions for most problems, so long as the existing solutions help meet the features listed below:
* you can fork, and run assertions (tests) in both processes,
* encapsulated test groups can be run individually, without running the
entire file,
* tests groups can be sorted, randomized, or sorted via a custom method,
* fennec is compatible with test::builder based tools,
* test::builder2 supportis in-place, but experimental,
* fennec is configurable to work on alternatives to test::builder,
* you do not need to put anything such as done_testing() at the end of your
test file,
* you do not need to worry about test counts,
* diagnostic messages are grouped with the failed test.
