Section 20.1. Writing Fixtures

20.1. Writing Fixtures

In Chapters 21-23 we cover the basics of writing fixtures to bridge with a system under test for each of the three types of Fit tests: calculations, workflow, and lists. At this stage, we'll assume that it is easy to bridge from the tests into the system under test. Later, in Part IV, we look at the issues that arise in connecting tests to a system under test that was not developed to enable testing.

The remaining chapters of Part III are as follows.

• Chapter 24 explains how to write several fixtures for a sequence of tables that need to coordinate in their use of a single system under test.

• Chapter 25 discusses how Fit handles the conversion of cell contents into values and vice versa with TypeAdapter and shows how user-defined and other types can be handled with Fit.

• Chapter 26 details the programmer specifics of installing and running Fit.

• Chapter 27 describes the programmer specifics of FitNesse.

• Chapter 28 outlines the development of fixtures for FitLibrary fixtures, as introduced in Chapter 10.

• Chapter 29 covers the custom table fixtures that were introduced in Chapter 11.
