Thank you for the link. The Patterns of xUnit Test Automation site is very helpful in thinking about all of this and is not a site I had seen before.
I don't have a lot of duplication yet, since this project is still in the early stages of development, but I am expecting there to be quite a bit of "test fixture setup" that is repeated from one test to the next (mainly setup of mock objects or subroutine overrides), possibly with variations in the setup data between tests. I think you're right, though, this will be something that can be factored out.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
