Description : Python module for loading and referencing test data
It provides several utilities for achieving a fixed state when
testing Python programs. Specifically, these utilities setup /
teardown databases and work with temporary file systems. This is
useful for testing and came about to fulfill stories like these:
.
* I want to load data into a test database and easily reference that
data when making assertions.
* I want data linked by foreign key to load automatically and delete
without integrity error.
* I want to reference linked rows by meaningful names, not hard-coded
ID numbers.
* I don’t want to worry about auto-incrementing sequences.
* I want to recreate an environment (say, for a bug) by querying a
database for real data.
* I want to test with files in a temporary, transparent file system.
