Unit Testing using Mocks - FillWithMocks, Fill all or only selected pr(smsohan.blogspot.com)

submitted by smsohan(60) 3 years, 9 months ago

I have been doing TDD for about two years now and using mock testing for interaction based unit testing in my projects. What I have learned over this time is, a unit testable design leads to introduction of interfaces and dependency injection for testing a code in isolation. And when I want to perform tests on my interactions, I need to create mock objects and inject these mock instances to my object under test. Sometimes, a unit test class needs to create quite a few of such mock objects and I feel this can be done using a simple wrapper around the usual mocking frameworks. I suggest a similar and even more powerful wrapper so that you don't need to create instances for each of the mock objects, rather do it in a single call for all your desired mocks. I have shown this method for NMock2, however, its evident that you can write your own method for your favorite mocking framework just using this code as a reference.
