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。

在我的回答中，我使用了python示例来说明差异。

Stub - Stubbing is a software development technique used to implement methods of classes early in the development life-cycle. They are used commonly as placeholders for implementation of a known interface, where the interface is finalized or known but the implementation is not yet known or finalized. You begin with stubs, which simply means that you only write the definition of a function down and leave the actual code for later. The advantage is that you won't forget methods and you can continue to think about your design while seeing it in code. You can also have your stub return a static response so that the response can be used by other parts of your code immediately. Stub objects provide a valid response, but it's static no matter what input you pass in, you'll always get the same response:

class Foo(object):
    def bar1(self):
        pass

    def bar2(self):
        #or ...
        raise NotImplementedError

    def bar3(self):
        #or return dummy data
        return "Dummy Data"

模拟对象用于模拟测试用例，它们验证在这些对象上调用了某些方法。模拟对象是以可控的方式模拟真实对象行为的模拟对象。您通常创建一个模拟对象来测试其他对象的行为。mock让我们模拟对于单元测试来说不可用或太笨重的资源。

mymodule.py:

import os
import os.path

def rm(filename):
    if os.path.isfile(filename):
        os.remove(filename)

test.py:

from mymodule import rm
import mock
import unittest

class RmTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    @mock.patch('mymodule.os')
    def test_rm(self, mock_os):
        rm("any path")
        # test that rm called os.remove with the right parameters
        mock_os.remove.assert_called_with("any path")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

这是一个非常基本的示例，它只运行rm并断言调用它的参数。您可以对对象使用mock，而不仅仅是这里所示的函数，您还可以返回一个值，这样模拟对象就可以用来替换存根进行测试。

更多关于unittest的信息。模拟，注意python 2。X mock不包含在unittest中，但它是一个可下载的模块，可以通过PIP (PIP install mock)下载。

我还读过Roy Osherove写的《单元测试的艺术》，我认为如果有一本类似的书是用Python和Python示例编写的，那就太棒了。如果有人知道这样的书，请分享。欢呼:)

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?

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();
   }
}

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

Stub帮助我们运行测试。怎么做?它给出了有助于运行测试的值。这些值本身不是真实的，我们创建这些值只是为了运行测试。例如，我们创建一个HashMap来提供与数据库表中的值相似的值。因此，我们不直接与数据库交互，而是与Hashmap交互。

Mock是一个运行测试的伪对象。我们在这里输入assert。
