This module is used for providing unit test case information for any particular service, as well as actually performing the tests on the service.

constructs a new MobyUnitTest reference. parameters (all optional) include:
example_input - example input to pass to our service when testing it
expected_output - service output xml that is expected given the example input
regex - the regular expression to match against
xpath - the xpath statement to match against
getter/setter - use to get/set the example input for the service that we are testing.
getter/setter - use to get/set the expected output for the service that we are testing given example_input.
getter/setter - use to get/set the regular expression that will be applied agaisnt the actual output for the service that we are testing.
getter/setter - use to get/set the xpath expression that will be applied against the actual output for the service that we are testing.
subroutine that determines whether or not the passed in output XML is semantically similar to expected_output.
parameters - a scalar string of XML (or a file location) to test expected_output against.
a true value is returned if both XML docs are semantically similar, otherwise undef is returned.
subroutine that applies regex to the passed in output XML.
parameters - a scalar string of XML to test against.
a true value is returned if the regular expression matches, otherwise undef is returned.
subroutine that applies xpath to the passed in output XML.
parameters - a scalar string of XML (or a file location) to test against.
a true value is returned if the xpath statement matches 1 or more nodes in the XML, otherwise undef is returned.
subroutine that retrieves any differences found when comparing expected_output XML and the XML passed in to this sub.
parameters - a scalar string of XML to test expected_output against.
an array ref of strings representing the differences found between xml docs is returned.
