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。

如果你把它比作调试:

Stub类似于确保一个方法返回正确的值 Mock实际上就像进入方法,在返回正确值之前确保里面的所有内容都是正确的。

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。

namespace UnitTestProject2
{
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
    using Moq;
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Test using Mock to Verify that GetNameWithPrefix method calls Repository GetName method "once" when Id is greater than Zero
        /// </summary>
        [TestMethod]
        public void GetNameWithPrefix_IdIsTwelve_GetNameCalledOnce()
        {
            // Arrange 
            var mockEntityRepository = new Mock<IEntityRepository>();
            mockEntityRepository.Setup(m => m.GetName(It.IsAny<int>()));

            var entity = new EntityClass(mockEntityRepository.Object);
            // Act 
            var name = entity.GetNameWithPrefix(12);
            // Assert
            mockEntityRepository.Verify(m => m.GetName(It.IsAny<int>()), Times.Once);
        }
        /// <summary>
        /// Test using Mock to Verify that GetNameWithPrefix method doesn't call Repository GetName method when Id is Zero
        /// </summary>
        [TestMethod]
        public void GetNameWithPrefix_IdIsZero_GetNameNeverCalled()
        {
            // Arrange 
            var mockEntityRepository = new Mock<IEntityRepository>();
            mockEntityRepository.Setup(m => m.GetName(It.IsAny<int>()));
            var entity = new EntityClass(mockEntityRepository.Object);
            // Act 
            var name = entity.GetNameWithPrefix(0);
            // Assert
            mockEntityRepository.Verify(m => m.GetName(It.IsAny<int>()), Times.Never);
        }
        /// <summary>
        /// Test using Stub to Verify that GetNameWithPrefix method returns Name with a Prefix
        /// </summary>
        [TestMethod]
        public void GetNameWithPrefix_IdIsTwelve_ReturnsNameWithPrefix()
        {
            // Arrange 
            var stubEntityRepository = new Mock<IEntityRepository>();
            stubEntityRepository.Setup(m => m.GetName(It.IsAny<int>()))
                .Returns("Stub");
            const string EXPECTED_NAME_WITH_PREFIX = "Mr. Stub";
            var entity = new EntityClass(stubEntityRepository.Object);
            // Act 
            var name = entity.GetNameWithPrefix(12);
            // Assert
            Assert.AreEqual(EXPECTED_NAME_WITH_PREFIX, name);
        }
    }
    public class EntityClass
    {
        private IEntityRepository _entityRepository;
        public EntityClass(IEntityRepository entityRepository)
        {
            this._entityRepository = entityRepository;
        }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string GetNameWithPrefix(int id)
        {
            string name = string.Empty;
            if (id > 0)
            {
                name = this._entityRepository.GetName(id);
            }
            return "Mr. " + name;
        }
    }
    public interface IEntityRepository
    {
        string GetName(int id);
    }
    public class EntityRepository:IEntityRepository
    {
        public string GetName(int id)
        {
            // Code to connect to DB and get name based on Id
            return "NameFromDb";
        }
    }
}

测试双打:

Fake: Fakes are objects that have working implementations, but not the same as production one. Such as: in-memory implementation of Data Access Object or Repository. Stub: Stub is an object that holds predefined data and uses it to answer calls during tests. Such as: an object that needs to grab some data from the database to respond to a method call. Mocks: Mocks are objects that register calls they receive. In test assertion, we can verify on Mocks that all expected actions were performed. Such as: a functionality that calls e-mail sending service. for more just check this.

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?

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。

模拟:帮助模拟和检查结果交互。这些交互 SUT调用它的依赖项来改变它们的状态。

存根:帮助模拟传入的交互。这些相互作用称为 SUT对其依赖项进行处理以获取输入数据。
