--- Comment #13 from Yohann Dufour <yohann.dufour at biblibre.com> ---
Moreover, the major issue with Test::DBIx::Class::Factory is that you cannot
create only the foreign keys for your object.

For instance, if I want to test the order in the acquisition module :
To create an order, I have to create first :
- a basket (which needs a bookseller)
- a budget
- a biblio

With TestBuilder, you can do something like that :
my $order = $builder->build({
    source => 'Aqorder',
    only_fk => 1,
})
The parameter only_fk allows one to insert in database only the foreign keys :
basket, budget and biblio and it returns an hashref to create the order.
Then, you can call the NewOrder routine like that : NewOrder($order)

With Test::DBIx::Class::Factory, you can do something similar :
my $order = $factory->create_record('Aqorder')
But it inserts the order in the database, so you cannot test then the NewOrder
routine since it is already in the database. Moreover, it returns a DBIx::Class
Object which is not compatible with what expects the New or Add routines.

Thus, according to me, Test::DBIx::Class::Factory is not compatible with how we
test the Koha modules.
