From 8ac80b06424350fd6088c1363661a12620040ae8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 07:11:47 +0000 Subject: doc: update test suite README and link with RDoc Apparently this document was completely forgotten over the course of development and never properly put on the website. The test suite is one of my favorite parts of Rainbows! and allows us to test the server as real clients would hit it. --- t/README | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 't') diff --git a/t/README b/t/README index 4a6430a..83b0501 100644 --- a/t/README +++ b/t/README @@ -1,19 +1,21 @@ -= Rainbows! test suite += \Rainbows! test suite - YES OUR TEST SUITE IS CONCURRENT!
