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。

参见下面使用c#和Moq框架的mock和存根的例子。Moq对于存根没有特殊的关键字,但是您也可以使用Mock对象来创建存根。

其他回答

在codeschool.com的课程《Rails僵尸测试》中,他们给出了这些术语的定义:

Stub

用于将方法替换为返回指定结果的代码。

Mock

带有调用方法的断言的存根。

因此,正如Sean Copenhaver在他的回答中所描述的那样,不同之处在于mock设置了期望(即做出断言,关于是否或如何调用它们)。

我喜欢Roy Osherove的解释。

创建的每个类或对象都是Fake。如果您验证它是一个Mock 反对它的呼声。否则就是存根。

以下是我的理解……

如果您在本地创建测试对象并将其提供给本地服务,则使用的是模拟对象。 这将为您在本地服务中实现的方法提供测试。 它用于验证行为 当您从真正的服务提供者获得测试数据时(尽管是从接口的测试版本获得对象的测试版本),您是在使用存根 存根可以有逻辑来接受特定的输入并给出相应的输出来帮助您执行状态验证…

Stub是实现组件接口的对象,但是Stub可以配置为返回适合测试的值,而不是返回调用时组件将返回的值。使用存根,单元测试可以测试一个单元是否可以处理来自合作者的各种返回值。在单元测试中使用存根而不是真正的合作者可以这样表示:

单元测试——>存根

单元测试——>单元——>存根

单元测试对结果和单元状态进行断言

首先,单元测试创建存根并配置其返回值。然后单元测试创建单元并在其上设置存根。现在,单元测试调用单元,而单元又调用存根。最后,单元测试对单元上的方法调用的结果进行断言。

A Mock is like a stub, only it also has methods that make it possible determine what methods where called on the Mock. Using a mock it is thus possible to both test if the unit can handle various return values correctly, and also if the unit uses the collaborator correctly. For instance, you cannot see by the value returned from a dao object whether the data was read from the database using a Statement or a PreparedStatement. Nor can you see if the connection.close() method was called before returning the value. This is possible with mocks. In other words, mocks makes it possible to test a units complete interaction with a collaborator. Not just the collaborator methods that return values used by the unit. Using a mock in a unit test could be expressed like this:

单元测试——>模拟

单元测试—>单元—>模拟

单元测试对单元的结果和状态进行断言

单元测试断言在mock上调用的方法
