Many tests have lots of methods in common. E.g. SaveImage(std::string), LoadImage(std::string) are frequently used in various tests.
Currently, everybody writes his own implementation or copies the code from somewhere else.
This bug is used to collect the most important methods and decide where to implement them (e.g. mitkTestingCommon).
We can also discuss whether the DataNodeFactory could be used in the final implementation. However, the interfaces should be designed for the test developer.
Brainstorming for methods:
-LoadImage(std::string)
-SaveImage(std::string)
-LoadSurface(std::string)
...
@Marco: could we work on this during the bugsquashing?
