=head1 NAME

Apache2::ASP::Test::Base  - base class for all test helper objects.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  
  use strict;
  use warnings 'all';
  use Test::More 'no_plan';
  use Apache2::ASP::Test::Base;
  
  ok( my $t = Apache2::ASP::Test::Base->new() );
  
  my $res = $t->ua->get("/index.asp");
  ok( $res->is_success );
  is( $res->header('location') => undef );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The whole point of writing Apache2::ASP was to enable command-line testing
of entire websites - and to gather statistics via L<Devel::Cover> and L<Devel::NYTProf>.

Somehow the test-driven-development world completely missed the point:

B<YOU HAVE GOT TO TEST YOUR WEB PAGES SOMEHOW!!>

Apache2::ASP and this class provide an excellent means of doing that.

See the C</t> folder in this distribution for several examples of testing different
kinds of functionality with C<Apache2::ASP::Test::Base>.
