Summary
Mock Objects is an approach to Test-Driven Development that changes the
way programmers think about code. It encourages them to think about how
objects interact with each other, rather than just how they work in isolation - as
the founders of Object Oriented programming intended. Objects should be
defined in terms of what they do, not what they are. Using Mock Objects with
Test-Driven Development guides developers towards code with clearly focused
objects and an emphasis on behavior over data - both features of good Object
Oriented programming.
This book has been written by two of the originators of the concept, who have
developed and refined their understanding over years of practice on real
projects. The book describes the basic concepts and shows how they fit into
the development cycle. It also addresses the common misunderstandings and
pitfalls that they have encountered.
