#swDevTermOfTheDay A #TestFixture set up an environment for an automated test in a known state, bind the test to the production code and finally resets to the original state after the execution of the test. I'ts basically the complement to the #TestCase itself.

#swDevTermOfTheDay The #FourPhaseTest pattern is a structure in #TestAutomation which consists of setting up the #TestFixture, execution of the #TestCase, #Verification of the test result and tearing down the fixture (e.g. closing files or deleting temporary data).
