This is the last item on the roadmap for 3.0. There is still a lot more that this could do, but at a bare minimum it offers a way to:

  1. Set up some fake records that we'll pretend exist in "real" tables
  2. Mock all the typical API methods for manipulating records, with sensible side effects
  3. Disallow any interaction with the API which was not mocked out

We've found this pattern useful with complex background jobs that make several sequential operations against the API, where even if we have sensible unit tests for smaller components of functionality, it's easier to test edge cases or bug reports when we can treat the entire job as a single function under test and, given certain inputs, make assertions about its behavior.
