Things that can take TAP as an input and do something useful with it.

[edit] Perl

[edit] Universal desirable behaviors

These are behaviors desired in all TAP parsers.

  • Should work on the TAP as a stream (ie. as each line is received) rather than wait until all the TAP is received.
  • The TAP source should be pluggable (ie. don't assume its always coming from a Perl program).
  • The TAP display should be pluggable.
  • Should be able to gracefully handle future upgrades to TAP.
  • Should be forward compatible.
    • Ignore unknown directives
    • Ignore any unparsable lines

[edit] Non Proliferation

TAP consumer authors should be aware of (and hopefully sign) the TAP Namespace Nonproliferation Treaty
