by Vincent Massol with Ted Husted Chapter 7, Testing in Isolation with Mock Objects
About the BookMany developers are switching to a new testing strategy - unit testing - which interleaves coding and testing in an integrated way. This has proven to be a powerful combination that results in better designed software with fewer defects and faster delivery cycles.JUnit in Action shows you how to benefit from this strategy using the popular open source testing framework, JUnit. The book is a no-fluff discussion of unit testing techniques and best practices. It gives examples of tough situations such as how to unit test EJBs, database applications, JSPs and Taglibs. It discusses unit testing of J2EE applications, and shows how to test in automated builds. About the ChaptersChapter 7, "Testing in Isolation with Mock Objects," shows a relatively new technique called mock objects, which permits fine-grained testing in isolation. With mock objects, you'll discover not only a new way of unit testing your code but also a new way of writing it! The mock object strategy not only leads to better tested code but also to more flexible and better designed code. The quiz is on all chapters of the book; however the majority of questions are focused on ch 7.
