他使用的通用术语是测试替身(想想特技替身)。Test Double是一个通用术语，用于为测试目的替换生产对象的任何情况。杰拉德列出了各种各样的替身:

Dummy objects are passed around but never actually used. Usually they are just used to fill parameter lists. Fake objects actually have working implementations, but usually take some shortcut which makes them not suitable for production (an InMemoryTestDatabase is a good example). Stubs provide canned answers to calls made during the test, usually not responding at all to anything outside what's programmed in for the test. Spies are stubs that also record some information based on how they were called. One form of this might be an email service that records how many messages it was sent(also called Partial Mock). Mocks are pre-programmed with expectations which form a specification of the calls they are expected to receive. They can throw an exception if they receive a call they don't expect and are checked during verification to ensure they got all the calls they were expecting.

源

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?

Stubs vs. Mocks Stubs provide specific answers to methods calls ex: myStubbedService.getValues() just return a String needed by the code under test used by code under test to isolate it cannot fail test ex: myStubbedService.getValues() just returns the stubbed value often implement abstract methods Mocks "superset" of stubs; can assert that certain methods are called ex: verify that myMockedService.getValues() is called only once used to test behaviour of code under test can fail test ex: verify that myMockedService.getValues() was called once; verification fails, because myMockedService.getValues() was not called by my tested code often mocks interfaces

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。

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。
