Trompeloeil is an open source thread-safe header-only mocking framework for C++14. It is easy to use while also allowing great expressive power. A popular technique in unit testing is to break dependencies by replacing collaborators of the unit under test with mock objects. Mocking frameworks makes it easier to create …
This Mock the internet presentation talks about a new mocking system in Linkedin that helps to mock all the outbound traffic for service level integration tests, will also talk a little bit about the overview of Linkedin Mocking strategy. Share the knowledge and what we learnt with everyone
Ever since J.B. Rainsberger’s ‘integrated tests are a scam’, many developers try to get rid of their massively integrated tests and test their units in isolation. Co-operation of units is tested with mocks and stubs. But – depending on the language used – this mocking can be more or less …
Although the Ruby community has embraced TDD like no other community ever has, we have always looked at mock objects with disdain, and perhaps even a little hatred. I’ve heard conference speakers call them “Wastes of time”, “Scams”, and even “Testing Heresies”. Why would anyone have ever developed these pieces …
Some say “mocks suck”, because they reduce a test’s realism and with it the confidence that the code being tested actually works. Others use mocks to demarcate the outer boundary of an application, guarding the test from expensive or external dependencies (e.g. by faking a database or network resource). Still …
This talk examines some common, simple patterns in code and the testing patterns that go with them. We’ll also discover what makes some code more testable than others, and how mocks and fakes can help isolate the code to be tested (and why you want to do that). Finally, we’ll …
