Abstract

\(\mathcal{F}it\) is an automated testing framework, developed by Ward Cunningham, that is a great way to develop automated customer tests. Custom fixtures can allow us to express some tests in a more convenient, expressive and direct form for customers (and ourselves). The open-ended and generic nature of the \(\mathcal{F}it\) framework enables new custom fixtures to be easily incorporated. We show how to test drive the development of such custom fixtures using FixtureFixture.
