Using Test Fixtures

Usually, a component is not complete in itself but requires stimuli to drive it. In response to the stimuli, the component produces outputs. To ensure that the outputs are what you expect, you can use a test fixture that instantiates the component, provides appropriate stimuli, and checks the outputs.

This chapter contains the following sections:
