Test::Builder, Test::More, and Test::Simple, the heart and soul of nearly all testing in the perl world are undergoing a huge change. Perl 5.22.0 will ship with completely new internals for these tools, and a cpan release will be made in March.

This talk will discuss why the changes were necessary, what things break because of these changes, and what benefits we get. I will also go over new tools and practices. At the end, time allowing, I will include briefs of modules that extend the testing ecosystem, and how the new internals help write testing tools.
