Fixtures
The conceptual design of the fixtures is illustrated in the diagram below.
The skallop fixtures are essentially focused on providing and setting the state of the following two objects:
TelescopeContextSubarrayContext
These two classes manipulate the state and sets correct tear downs for pytest using a set of context manager functions belonging to the mvp_management package. These context managers in turn, make use of the mvp_control package to correctly control and monitor readiness of the mvp during setup and tear down.
The corresponding object and it’s required state for each providing fixture is listed below.
