Fit for Developing Software: Framework for Integrated Tests

Chapter 4. Testing Business Processes with ActionFixture Tables

An ActionFixture table tests that a sequence of actions made to a system have the desired effects. For example, pressing keys on a simple calculator leads to changes in the numbers shown on the calculator display. ActionFixture uses the metaphor of a device to control the test; values can be entered into input fields, buttons pressed (clicked), and output fields checked against expected values. In this chapter, we look at two simple examples of using ActionFixture tables.
