Discussion 🔗

Fixtures ensure that tests execute in a consistent environment and that test-specific resources are cleaned up or reset afterward. Audition provides two flavors of test fixtures:

• Setup: Code that runs before a test or suite to create the necessary environment (e.g., creating database entries, initializing objects).
• Teardown: Code that runs after a test or suite to clean up or reset the environment (e.g., deleting test data).
