我读过各种关于测试中模仿和存根的文章,包括Martin Fowler的《Mocks Aren't Stubs》,但我仍然不理解其中的区别。

存根用于您在测试中设置的具有预期返回值的方法。 mock用于void方法,这些方法在调用时的Assert中进行验证。

下面是对每一个的描述,然后是真实世界的样本。

Dummy - just bogus values to satisfy the API. Example: If you're testing a method of a class which requires many mandatory parameters in a constructor which have no effect on your test, then you may create dummy objects for the purpose of creating new instances of a class. Fake - create a test implementation of a class which may have a dependency on some external infrastructure. (It's good practice that your unit test does NOT actually interact with external infrastructure.) Example: Create fake implementation for accessing a database, replace it with in-memory collection. Stub - override methods to return hard-coded values, also referred to as state-based. Example: Your test class depends on a method Calculate() taking 5 minutes to complete. Rather than wait for 5 minutes you can replace its real implementation with stub that returns hard-coded values; taking only a small fraction of the time. Mock - very similar to Stub but interaction-based rather than state-based. This means you don't expect from Mock to return some value, but to assume that specific order of method calls are made. Example: You're testing a user registration class. After calling Save, it should call SendConfirmationEmail.

存根和Mock实际上是Mock的子类型,两者都交换了实际实现和测试实现,但出于不同的、特定的原因。

Mock只是测试行为,确保调用了特定的方法。 Stub是特定对象的可测试版本(本质上)。

你说的苹果方式是什么意思?

存根是为测试目的而构建的伪对象。mock是记录预期调用是否有效发生的存根。

存根不会让你考试不及格,mock可以。

Mock——Mock拦截对一个方法或函数的调用(或者像模拟类那样的一组方法和函数)。它不是该方法或函数的替代品。在那次拦截中,mock可以做任何它想做的事情,比如记录输入和输出,决定短路调用,更改返回值,等等。

存根——存根是一个有效的方法或函数(或一组方法和函数,就像存根类一样)的完整工作实现,它与它存根的方法、函数或一组方法和函数具有相同的接口/签名。stub实现通常只会做在单元测试上下文中可以接受的事情,这意味着它不会做IO,同时模仿它要stub的东西的行为。
