In the (LD) context, a fixture corresponds the source code required to execute specification against the system under test. (LD) minimizes the amount of fixture you need to implement.

Wiki

A wiki (from Hawaiian meaning "quick") is an online content management system (CMS) designed to facilitate the collaborative editing of documents through an in-browser text interface, which are then immediately presented as publicly visible web pages. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. Wikis are used in business to provide intranet and knowledge management systems. While wikis (by the strict definition) have their limitations, such that other CMS models may be better suited for certain uses, the widespread and popular usage of wikis for creating and managing documents represents an innovation and leap forward in the development of the World Wide Web (cf. Web 2.0).
