Test Data Libraries for Elixir
The factory library ExMachina created by Thoughbot uses function names and generates an atom used to call factories. For example:

How to write test cases for databse related functions
The well known FactoryBot (FactoryGirl) from rails has a pretty good equivalent in Phoenix as ExMachina (https://github.com/thoughtbot/ex_machina) and does the job really well (thoughtbot is a pretty good and stable contributor too, so a nice Omakase plug-in!)

An Introduction to Mocking Tools for Elixir
Mox helps get around these issues by ensuring explicit contracts. Read Mocks and Explicit Contracts for more details.
-
