Test Doubles: An Introduction To Unit Test Patterns
An introduction to unit testing design patterns illustrated by an indepth look at Test Doubles (Dummies, Mocks, Fakes And Stubs).Unit testing is a widely used agile technique. The basics can be learnt quickly but developers new to unit testing often struggle to create high quality, maintainable tests. Design patterns describe a solution vocabulary for recurring concepts. They are widely used as tools to improve the quality of object oriented designs. This talk introduces the pattern language of the unit testing domain, illustrated by Test Doubles: Dummies, Mocks, Fakes and Stubs (an area with many traps for the unwary).
