Use this folder to store mocks, stubs, etc to make isolated testing possible.

|
* Dummy
|
||
|
|
objects are passed around but never actually used.
|
||
|
|
Usually they are just used to fill parameter lists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Fake
|
||
|
|
objects actually have working implementations, but usually
|
||
|
|
take some shortcut which makes them not suitable for
|
||
|
|
production (an in memory database is a good example).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Stubs
|
||
|
|
provide canned answers to calls made during the test,
|
||
|
|
usually not responding at all to anything outside what's
|
||
|
|
programmed in for the test. Stubs may also record information
|
||
|
|
about calls, such as an email gateway stub that remembers the
|
||
|
|
messages it 'sent', or maybe only how many messages it 'sent'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mocks
|
||
|
|
objects pre-programmed with expectations which form a
|
||
|
|
specification of the calls they are expected to receive.
