C++ Mocks Made Easy – An Introduction to gMock
Mock objects make unit testing easier and more effective. They cut code dependencies, make the tests fast and robust, make the test intent clear, and enable developers to easily test the interaction between components. While an invaluable technique, mocks haven’t caught on in the C++ land due to limitation of …
The Value of Small Tests
Whenever unit-tests are written, chances are good that the code is not isolated. Many tests run against a given class/interface/function. The design didn’t consider isolating the dependencies of this function, which makes tests slower, larger, less focused, and likely depending on external dependencies (e.g. database access) which decreases the reliability. …
