存根是向SUT返回值的测试double。

模拟是测试用于验证SUT正确调用依赖项的双重测试。

而且，mock通常是存根

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?

看了上面所有的解释，让我试着总结一下:

Stub:让测试运行的一段虚拟代码，但您并不关心它会发生什么。替代实际工作代码。 Mock:在测试中验证是否正确调用的一段虚拟代码。替代实际工作代码。 间谍:一段虚拟代码，用于拦截和验证对实际工作代码的某些调用，从而避免替换所有实际代码。

存根是一个简单的伪对象。它只是确保测试顺利进行。 mock是更聪明的存根。您验证您的测试通过了它。

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。

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.
