.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides the base class for FITesque fixtures. It provides methods
for the 'Test' and 'Plan' attributes along with some utility functions for
Test::FITesque::Fixture.
.PP
All methods for use as FITesque test methods must be marked with the 'Test'
attribute.
.PP
The 'Plan' attribute states how many Test::More functions the FITesque test
method expects to run. If a method does not have the 'Plan' attribute set, it
is implied that the test method will execute one Test::More functions.
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  # Execute 10 Test::More functions
\&  sub test_method : Test : Plan(10) {
\&    ...  
\&  }
\&
\&  # Just one this time
\&  sub test_method : Test {
\&    ...
\&  }
\&
\&  # not a test method
\&  sub normal_method {
\&    ...
\&  }
.Ve
.PP
There are also 2 methods which may require overriding. The parse_method_string
method returns a coderef of the method that relates to the method string
used as the first element of a FITesque test row.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  # get coderef for the \*(Aqclick_on_buton\*(Aq method of the fixture class
\&  my $coderef = $fixture\->parse_method_string(\*(Aqclick on button\*(Aq);
.Ve
.PP
The other method, 'parse_arguments' provides a hook in point to allow
preprocessing on arguments to FITesque fixture test methods. This might be
useful in case you want to design a domain specific language into your
arguments. By default, this method just returns the arguments as is.

method name.

.PP
This method takes a string of text and attempts to return a coderef
of a method within the fixture class.
.SS "parse_arguments"
.IX Subsection "parse_arguments"
.Vb 1
\&  my @arguments = $fixture\->parse_arguments(qw(one two three));
.Ve
.PP
This method provides a way to preprocess arguments for methods before
they are run.
