Does anyone here understand "fixtures" as a testing concept, and could they please explain it to me in a Perlish way?
In terms of etymology only, it was explained to me that the term "fixture" comes from the idea of testing hardware components. You want the environment to change as little as possible from component to component, thus you build a fixture so that you may plug the component in, test it, unplug it, and move onto the next. -- Ian Langworth
