The prototypical setup of data structures and test support components
is largely complete by now — with the exception of the `MockDispatcher`,
which will be completed while moving to the next steps pertaining the
setup of a frame dispatch pipeline.
* the existing `DummyJob` was augmented to allow verification of
association between Job and `JobTicket`
* the existing implementation of `JobTicket` was verified and augmented
to allow coverage of the whole usage cycle
* a `MockJobTicket` was implemented on top, which can be generated
from a symbolical test specification (rather than from the real
Fixture data structure)
* a complete `MockSegmentation` was developed, allowing to establish
all the aforementioned data structures without an actual backing
Render Engine. Moreover, `MockSegmentation` can be generated
from the aforementioned symbolic test specification.
* as part of this work, an algorithm to split an existing Segmentation
and to splice in new segments was developed and verified
