+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 Class Methods
+
+=head3 C<new>
+
+ my %args = (
+ verbosity => 1,
+ lib => [ 'lib', 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch' ],
+ )
+ my $harness = TAP::Harness->new( \%args );
+
+The constructor returns a new C<TAP::Harness> object. It accepts an
+optional hashref whose allowed keys are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * C<verbosity>
+
+Set the verbosity level:
+
+ 1 verbose Print individual test results to STDOUT.
+ 0 normal
+ -1 quiet Suppress some test output (mostly failures
+ while tests are running).
+ -2 really quiet Suppress everything but the tests summary.
+ -3 silent Suppress everything.
+
+=item * C<timer>
+
+Append run time for each test to output. Uses L<Time::HiRes> if
+available.
+
+=item * C<failures>
+
+Show test failures (this is a no-op if C<verbose> is selected).
+
+=item * C<comments>
+
+Show test comments (this is a no-op if C<verbose> is selected).
+
+=item * C<show_count>
+
+Update the running test count during testing.
+
+=item * C<normalize>
+
+Set to a true value to normalize the TAP that is emitted in verbose modes.
+
+=item * C<lib>
+
+Accepts a scalar value or array ref of scalar values indicating which
+paths to allowed libraries should be included if Perl tests are
+executed. Naturally, this only makes sense in the context of tests
+written in Perl.
+
+=item * C<switches>
+
+Accepts a scalar value or array ref of scalar values indicating which
+switches should be included if Perl tests are executed. Naturally, this
+only makes sense in the context of tests written in Perl.
+
+=item * C<test_args>
+
+A reference to an C<@INC> style array of arguments to be passed to each
+test program.
+
+ test_args => ['foo', 'bar'],
+
+if you want to pass different arguments to each test then you should
+pass a hash of arrays, keyed by the alias for each test:
+
+ test_args => {
+ my_test => ['foo', 'bar'],
+ other_test => ['baz'],
+ }
+
+=item * C<color>
+
+Attempt to produce color output.
+
+=item * C<exec>
+
+Typically, Perl tests are run through this. However, anything which
+spits out TAP is fine. You can use this argument to specify the name of
+the program (and optional switches) to run your tests with:
+
+ exec => ['/usr/bin/ruby', '-w']
+
+You can also pass a subroutine reference in order to determine and
+return the proper program to run based on a given test script. The
+subroutine reference should expect the TAP::Harness object itself as the
+first argument, and the file name as the second argument. It should
+return an array reference containing the command to be run and including
+the test file name. It can also simply return C<undef>, in which case
+TAP::Harness will fall back on executing the test script in Perl:
+
+ exec => sub {
+ my ( $harness, $test_file ) = @_;
+
+ # Let Perl tests run.
+ return undef if $test_file =~ /[.]t$/;
+ return [ qw( /usr/bin/ruby -w ), $test_file ]
+ if $test_file =~ /[.]rb$/;
+ }
+
+If the subroutine returns a scalar with a newline or a filehandle, it
+will be interpreted as raw TAP or as a TAP stream, respectively.
+
+=item * C<merge>
+
+If C<merge> is true the harness will create parsers that merge STDOUT
+and STDERR together for any processes they start.
+
+=item * C<sources>
+
+I<NEW to 3.18>.
+
+If set, C<sources> must be a hashref containing the names of the
+L<TAP::Parser::SourceHandler>s to load and/or configure. The values are a
+hash of configuration that will be accessible to to the source handlers via
+L<TAP::Parser::Source/config_for>.
+
+For example:
+
+ sources => {
+ Perl => { exec => '/path/to/custom/perl' },
+ File => { extensions => [ '.tap', '.txt' ] },
+ MyCustom => { some => 'config' },
+ }
+
+The C<sources> parameter affects how C<source>, C<tap> and C<exec> parameters
+are handled.
+
+For more details, see the C<sources> parameter in L<TAP::Parser/new>,
+L<TAP::Parser::Source>, and L<TAP::Parser::IteratorFactory>.
+
+=item * C<aggregator_class>
+
+The name of the class to use to aggregate test results. The default is
+L<TAP::Parser::Aggregator>.
+
+=item * C<formatter_class>
+
+The name of the class to use to format output. The default is
+L<TAP::Formatter::Console>, or L<TAP::Formatter::File> if the output
+isn't a TTY.
+
+=item * C<multiplexer_class>
+
+The name of the class to use to multiplex tests during parallel testing.
+The default is L<TAP::Parser::Multiplexer>.
+
+=item * C<parser_class>
+
+The name of the class to use to parse TAP. The default is
+L<TAP::Parser>.
+
+=item * C<scheduler_class>
+
+The name of the class to use to schedule test execution. The default is
+L<TAP::Parser::Scheduler>.
+
+=item * C<formatter>
+
+If set C<formatter> must be an object that is capable of formatting the
+TAP output. See L<TAP::Formatter::Console> for an example.
+
+=item * C<errors>
+
+If parse errors are found in the TAP output, a note of this will be
+made in the summary report. To see all of the parse errors, set this
+argument to true:
+
+ errors => 1
+
+=item * C<directives>
+
+If set to a true value, only test results with directives will be
+displayed. This overrides other settings such as C<verbose> or
+C<failures>.
+
+=item * C<ignore_exit>
+
+If set to a true value instruct C<TAP::Parser> to ignore exit and wait
+status from test scripts.
+
+=item * C<jobs>
+
+The maximum number of parallel tests to run at any time. Which tests
+can be run in parallel is controlled by C<rules>. The default is to
+run only one test at a time.
+
+=item * C<rules>
+
+A reference to a hash of rules that control which tests may be
+executed in parallel. This is an experimental feature and the
+interface may change.
+
+ $harness->rules(
+ { par => [
+ { seq => '../ext/DB_File/t/*' },
+ { seq => '../ext/IO_Compress_Zlib/t/*' },
+ { seq => '../lib/CPANPLUS/*' },
+ { seq => '../lib/ExtUtils/t/*' },
+ '*'
+ ]
+ }
+ );
+
+=item * C<stdout>
+
+A filehandle for catching standard output.
+
+=back
+
+Any keys for which the value is C<undef> will be ignored.

+
+=head3 C<runtests>
+
+ $harness->runtests(@tests);
+
+Accepts an array of C<@tests> to be run. This should generally be the
+names of test files, but this is not required. Each element in C<@tests>
+will be passed to C<TAP::Parser::new()> as a C<source>. See
+L<TAP::Parser> for more information.
+
+It is possible to provide aliases that will be displayed in place of the
+test name by supplying the test as a reference to an array containing
+C<< [ $test, $alias ] >>:
+
+ $harness->runtests( [ 't/foo.t', 'Foo Once' ],
+ [ 't/foo.t', 'Foo Twice' ] );
+
+Normally it is an error to attempt to run the same test twice. Aliases
+allow you to overcome this limitation by giving each run of the test a
+unique name.
+
+Tests will be run in the order found.
+
+If the environment variable C<PERL_TEST_HARNESS_DUMP_TAP> is defined it
+should name a directory into which a copy of the raw TAP for each test
+will be written. TAP is written to files named for each test.
+Subdirectories will be created as needed.
+
+Returns a L<TAP::Parser::Aggregator> containing the test results.

+
+Run the named tests and display a summary of result. Tests will be run
+in the order found.
+
+Test results will be added to the supplied L<TAP::Parser::Aggregator>.
+C<aggregate_tests> may be called multiple times to run several sets of
+tests. Multiple C<Test::Harness> instances may be used to pass results
+to a single aggregator so that different parts of a complex test suite
+may be run using different C<TAP::Harness> settings. This is useful, for
+example, in the case where some tests should run in parallel but others
+are unsuitable for parallel execution.

+Note that for simpler testing requirements it will often be possible to

+
+Each element of the C<@tests> array is either:
+

+
+=item * the source name of a test to run
+
+=item * a reference to a [ source name, display name ] array
+
+=back
+
+In the case of a perl test suite, typically I<source names> are simply the file
+names of the test scripts to run.
+
+When you supply a separate display name it becomes possible to run a
+test more than once; the display name is effectively the alias by which
+the test is known inside the harness. The harness doesn't care if it
+runs the same test more than once when each invocation uses a
+different name.

+=head1 CONFIGURING
+
+C<TAP::Harness> is designed to be easy to configure.
+
+=head2 Plugins
+
+C<TAP::Parser> plugins let you change the way TAP is I<input> to and I<output>
+from the parser.
+
+L<TAP::Parser::SourceHandler>s handle TAP I<input>. You can configure them
+and load custom handlers using the C<sources> parameter to L</new>.
+
+L<TAP::Formatter>s handle TAP I<output>. You can load custom formatters by
+using the C<formatter_class> parameter to L</new>. To configure a formatter,
+you currently need to instantiate it outside of L<TAP::Harness> and pass it in
+with the C<formatter> parameter to L</new>. This I<may> be addressed by adding
+a I<formatters> parameter to L</new> in the future.
+
+=head2 C<Module::Build>
+
+L<Module::Build> version C<0.30> supports C<TAP::Harness>.
+
+To load C<TAP::Harness> plugins, you'll need to use the C<tap_harness_args>
+parameter to C<new>, typically from your C<Build.PL>. For example:
+
+ Module::Build->new(
+ module_name => 'MyApp',
+ test_file_exts => [qw(.t .tap .txt)],
+ use_tap_harness => 1,
+ tap_harness_args => {
+ sources => {
+ MyCustom => {},
+ File => {
+ extensions => ['.tap', '.txt'],
+ },
+ },
+ formatter => 'TAP::Formatter::HTML',
+ },
+ build_requires => {
+ 'Module::Build' => '0.30',
+ 'TAP::Harness' => '3.18',
+ },
+ )->create_build_script;

+See L</new>
+
+=head2 C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>
+
+L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> does not support L<TAP::Harness> out-of-the-box.
+
+=head2 C<prove>
+
+L<prove> supports C<TAP::Harness> plugins, and has a plugin system of its
+own. See L<prove/FORMATTERS>, L<prove/SOURCE HANDLERS> and L<App::Prove>
+for more details.
+
+=head1 WRITING PLUGINS
+
+If you can't configure C<TAP::Harness> to do what you want, and you can't find
+an existing plugin, consider writing one.
+
+The two primary use cases supported by L<TAP::Harness> for plugins are I<input>
+and I<output>:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item Customize how TAP gets into the parser
+
+To do this, you can either extend an existing L<TAP::Parser::SourceHandler>,
+or write your own. It's a pretty simple API, and they can be loaded and
+configured using the C<sources> parameter to L</new>.
+
+=item Customize how TAP results are output from the parser
+
+To do this, you can either extend an existing L<TAP::Formatter>, or write your
+own. Writing formatters are a bit more involved than writing a
+I<SourceHandler>, as you'll need to understand the L<TAP::Parser> API. A
+good place to start is by understanding how L</aggregate_tests> works.
+
+Custom formatters can be loaded configured using the C<formatter_class>
+parameter to L</new>.
+

+
+=head1 SUBCLASSING
+
+If you can't configure C<TAP::Harness> to do exactly what you want, and writing
+a plugin isn't an option, consider extending it. It is designed to be (mostly)
+easy to subclass, though the cases when sub-classing is necessary should be few
+and far between.
+
+=head2 Methods
+
+The following methods are ones you may wish to override if you want to
+subclass C<TAP::Harness>.

+=head1 REPLACING
+
+If you like the C<prove> utility and L<TAP::Parser> but you want your
+own harness, all you need to do is write one and provide C<new> and
+C<runtests> methods. Then you can use the C<prove> utility like so:
+
+ prove --harness My::Test::Harness
+
+Note that while C<prove> accepts a list of tests (or things to be
+tested), C<new> has a fairly rich set of arguments. You'll probably want
+to read over this code carefully to see how all of them are being used.
