package HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::Hooks;

=head1 NAME

HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::Hooks - Provides callbacks called during test run

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    plugins = ( ::Hooks )

    # do some test sequence initialization
    on_start = { My::init() }

    # do some test sequence deinitialization
    on_finish = { My::stop() }

    test_name = Name1
        ....
        # do some test initialization
        on_request = { My::local_init() }
    end_test

    test_name = Name2
        ....
        # define custom test
        on_response = ( { My::test() ? 'yes' : 'no' } => 'My test' )
    end_test

    test_name = Name3
        ....
        # call finalization code with returning any test results
        on_response = { My::finalize(); return [] }
    end_test

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin module adds test parameters whose values are evaluated at
specific times of the L test run.  It can be
used to do some initialization before doing test request, to do some
finalization when test response is received or to implement user
defined tests without writing a new plugin module.

=head1 TEST PARAMETERS

=for pod_merge copy opt_params

=head2 on_start

The value of this test parameter is ignored.  However, it is evaluted
before the test sequence is run, so it can be used to do initalization
before the test sequence run.

=head3 Example

See example in L.

=head2 on_finish

The value of this test parameter is ignored.  However, it is evaluted
before the test sequence is run, so it can be used to run finalization
code when the test sequence is finished.

=head3 Example

See example in L.

=head2 on_request

The value of this test parameter is ignored.  However, it is evaluted
before the HTTP request is done, so it can be used to do
initalization before the request.

=head2 on_response

This is a list parameter which is treated as test result.  It is
evaluted when the HTTP response for the test request is received.

It can be used to define custom tests without writing new plugins.
It can also be used to run some code when the HTTP response for the test
request is received.

=head3 Allowed values

    ( YESNO1, COMMENT1
      YESNO2, COMMENT2
      ....
      YESNON, COMMENTN )

Here C, C is a test result.  C is either
C if test is successful or C if it is not.  C is a
comment associated with this test.

=head3 Example

See example in L.
