Announcing a new package for testing in Julia:

https://github.com/burrowsa/Fixtures.jl

Having only got into Julia towards the end of last year (after hearing 
Stefan talk at codemesh) I was surprised at how basic the support for unit 
testing was so I've tried to fill that hole a bit. The package provides a 
simple framework for fixtures that can be overlayed on top of however you 
currently do your testing. Some predefined fixtures for managing files are 
provided as well as a patch fixture. Simple mocks are provided as well as 
wildcards for matching mock calls. I mostly do python as my day job so the 
inspiration for the patching and mocks is taken mostly from unittest.mock 
in python 3 and the fixtures stuff is loosely based on a variety of test 
frameworks I've used over the years but as I'm currently using py.test 
day-to-day that probably had more influence than others.

I'm still learning Julia so I'm sure there are plenty of improvements I 
could make to the package, any feedback/issues/pull requests are welcome.

Cheers
Andy
