31.2. Developing the Fixture

Later in the afternoon, we got together with Emily to discuss the fixture class. She mentioned in passing, "That other table dropped out easily; no trouble. Don is entering the tests now for those tables."

Emily had got the bare bones of the fixture class together, as shown in Listing 31.1.^[1] However, she was unsure of the best way to hook it up to the application.

^[1] See Chapter 21 for an introduction to writing ColumnFixture classes.

Listing 31.1. TestLate.java (version 1)

 public class TestLate extends fit.ColumnFixture {    public float hoursLate, grace, highDemand;    public boolean countGrace;    public int extraHours() {       return 0;    } } 

After suggesting to Emily that she change the return value of exTRaHours() to -1, she ran Fit on it. Of course, none of the tests passed.
