Submitted by Roy Osherove on Sat, 02/07/2005 - 01:58. .NET | Mock ObjectsAyende has announced that he's released Rhino.Mocks v. 2.0: his own version of what he'd like in a Mock Object framework. I haven't yet got a chance to try it out, but it certainly sounds interesting!
"Rhino.Mocks is an attempt to create easier way to build and use mock objects and allow better refactoring support from the current tools. It's a hybrid approach between the pure Record/Replay of EasyMock.Net's model and NMock's expectation based model. Rhino.Mocks originated from EasyMock.Net and attempt to improve on their model to create easy to use and power mocking framework. It's free for use and modification for free and commercial software.
The Mock Objects elevator speech
Submitted by Roy Osherove on Thu, 30/06/2005 - 22:33. Mock ObjectsA friend asked me by email the other day :"So why do I need mock objects?" I came up with this in roughly 3 minutes so it's a bit rough, but it'll do to drive the point home, I hope. Note, that this does not really explain the *technical* side of it too much. Just the logic behind the concept.
Mock objects are there for when you need to replace or remove dependencies from code under test.
Let's say you have a class that manages user logins. Whenever a user login fails the class needs to report to a logger class, or maybe even an email class, or some remote web service to authenticate. If you want to write a test for the logic in the login class (an tests are just methods that call methods on the tested class, really) you want your test to run fast, and to run easily without too much fussing and configuration so that you can get fast feedback.
