11.2. Testing Associations

Sometimes, a test is easier to read with a picture than with text. For example, the table shown in Figure 11.2 tests the occupancy of various users in various rooms. The Fit fixture doesn't check the image itself but uses an internal format to make the check. If the test fails, a picture of the actual associations is provided (see also Plate 6).

The fixture code for the tests here is given in Section 29.2 on p. 248.
