Fit - Column Fixture

About

ColumnFixture maps table columns directly to:

• properties,
• methods
• and fields

of the fixture class.

It is very useful for repetitive verification (as parameterized test) if the same test needs to be repeated for different combinations of input arguments.

Similar to Slim - Decision Table (test case as a row)

• The first row of the table is the fixture test class name.

• All following rows list combinations of input arguments and expected values of output arguments.
