Module: Uttk::Loaders

Uttk::Loaders are design to help you to make tests.

The `testify’ method is here to provide a usefull way to convert anything to a test.

For example Hash#testify instanciate a test from a hash:

  doc = {
    :strategy => Cmd,
    :command  => 'echo -n foo',
    :output   => 'foo',
    :symtbl   => SYMTBL
  }

  test = doc.testify
  test.run

You can also load a test from a string, an io or a file. In this case the format can change (YAML, XML…). To manage this you can use Uttk::Loaders to add new loader easily.

To implement a loader you just need to subclass the abstract loader (Uttk::Loaders::Loader), and implement the `load’ method.

The `load’ method take an IO as argument and return something which can be testified.
