Summary#
Tests become flaky and slower when each file reaches out to remote assets or implements its own fixture-loading logic. Consolidating fixture access behind a shared helper and using local test data makes failures easier to reason about and reduces incidental breakage from network changes.
Problem#
Multiple tests loaded images through direct HTTP calls or duplicated fixture handling, creating avoidable network dependence and inconsistent test setup behavior.
Solution#
Introduce a single shared helper for loading test fixtures, route tests through local or centrally managed assets, and update affected suites to use the helper instead of downloading resources inline.
Failure Modes#
- Keeping hidden network calls inside tests that only fail in CI or offline environments
- Letting fixture-loading behavior diverge across files over time
- Creating a shared helper that is too rigid for variant-specific test needs
- Migrating to a helper without updating all callers, leaving mixed patterns in the suite

- verdict:
ok - note: 네트워크 의존 제거와 공용 fixture helper 권장은 여전히 유효하다.
