#TAKING ACTION AFTER A TOOL IS DONE

#TAKING ACTION AT THE END OF TESTING

Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::TestingDone - How to add behaviors that occur when testing is complete (IE done_testing, or end of test).

#TAKING ACTION JUST BEFORE EXIT

#WHERE TO FIND HOOKS AND APIS

#global API

Test2::API is the global API. This is primarily used by plugins that provide global behavior.

#In hubs

Test2::Hub is the base class for all hubs. This is where hooks for manipulating events, or running things at the end of testing live.
