加上有用的答案，其中最强大的一点使用模拟比潜艇

如果合作者(主代码所依赖的合作者)不在我们的控制之下(例如来自第三方库)， 在这种情况下，stub比mock更难编写。

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

存根是保存预定义数据并在测试期间使用它应答调用的对象。当您不能或不想涉及与真实数据对应或具有不良副作用的对象时，可以使用它。

一个例子可以是需要从数据库获取一些数据以响应方法调用的对象。我们引入了存根而不是实际对象，并定义了应该返回什么数据。

Stub的例子:

public class GradesService {

   private final Gradebook gradebook;

   public GradesService(Gradebook gradebook) {
       this.gradebook = gradebook;
   }

   Double averageGrades(Student student) {
       return average(gradebook.gradesFor(student));
   }
}

不是从Gradebook store调用数据库来获取真实的学生成绩，而是预先配置将返回的成绩存根。定义足够的数据来测试平均计算算法。

public class GradesServiceTest {

   private Student student;
   private Gradebook gradebook;

   @Before
   public void setUp() throws Exception {
       gradebook = mock(Gradebook.class);
       student = new Student();
   }

   @Test
   public void calculates_grades_average_for_student() {
       //stubbing gradebook
       when(gradebook.gradesFor(student)).thenReturn(grades(8, 6, 10)); 

       double averageGrades = new GradesService(gradebook).averageGrades(student);

       assertThat(averageGrades).isEqualTo(8.0);
   }
}

Mock

mock是注册它们接收到的调用的对象。在测试断言中，您可以在mock上验证是否执行了所有预期的操作。当您不想调用产品代码或没有简单的方法来验证预期的代码是否被执行时，您可以使用模拟。没有返回值，也没有检查系统状态更改的简单方法。调用电子邮件发送服务的功能就是一个例子。

您不希望每次运行测试时都发送电子邮件。此外，在测试中验证发送的电子邮件是否正确并不容易。您唯一能做的就是验证在我们的测试中执行的功能的输出。在其他情况下，验证是否调用了电子邮件发送服务。

Mock示例:

public class SecurityCentral {

   private final Window window;
   private final Door door;

   public SecurityCentral(Window window, Door door) {
       this.window = window;
       this.door = door;
   }

   void securityOn() {
       window.close();
       door.close();
   }
}

你不想关上真正的门来测试安全方法是否有效，对吧?相反，在测试代码中放置门和窗模拟对象。

public class SecurityCentralTest {

   Window windowMock = mock(Window.class);
   Door doorMock = mock(Door.class);

   @Test
   public void enabling_security_locks_windows_and_doors() {
       SecurityCentral securityCentral = new SecurityCentral(windowMock, doorMock);

       securityCentral.securityOn();

       verify(doorMock).close();
       verify(windowMock).close();
   }
}

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。

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。

A fake is a generic term that can be used to describe either a stub or a mock object (handwritten or otherwise), because they both look like the real object. Whether a fake is a stub or a mock depends on how it’s used in the current test. If it’s used to check an interaction (asserted against), it’s a mock object. Otherwise, it’s a stub. Fakes makes sure test runs smoothly. It means that reader of your future test will understand what will be the behavior of the fake object, without needing to read its source code (without needing to depend on external resource). What does test run smoothly mean? Forexample in below code: public void Analyze(string filename) { if(filename.Length<8) { try { errorService.LogError("long file entered named:" + filename); } catch (Exception e) { mailService.SendEMail("admin@hotmail.com", "ErrorOnWebService", "someerror"); } } } You want to test mailService.SendEMail() method, to do that you need to simulate an Exception in you test method, so you just need to create a Fake Stub errorService class to simulate that result, then your test code will be able to test mailService.SendEMail() method. As you see you need to simulate a result which is from an another External Dependency ErrorService class.
