Are your test suites brittle and hard to maintain? Does making the simplest of changes trigger an avalanche of red? Then maybe it's time to start treating your test contexts like the first-class code that they are. Test contexts that are easy to read and understand are the key to maintainable test suites. Stop reinventing the universe for each and every test, and instead, factor it out into shared, reusable test data generators using helpers like the Object Mother and Builder patterns. I'll even show you how to automatically generate the generators so you can get back to working on the interesting stuff.
