# Test2::Formatter::Test2(3pm)

An alternative to TAP, used by Test2::Harness.

## NAME

Test2::Formatter::Test2 - An alternative to TAP, used by Test2::Harness.

## DESCRIPTION

This formatter is the primary formatter used for final result rendering when you use Test2::Harness. This formatter is NOT designed to have its output consumed by code/machine/harnesses. The goal of this formatter is to have output that is easily read by humans.

## SYNOPSIS

If you are running a test directly with perl and want to use this formatter:

```
    $ perl -MTest2::Formatter::Test2 path/to/test.t
```

You could also use the module directly in your test, but that is not recommended as your test would then be unable to be run via prove or other harnesses.
