前言

有几个对象的定义是不真实的。一般的术语是双重测试。这个术语包括:dummy, fake, stub, mock。

参考

根据Martin Fowler的文章:

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 in memory database 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. Stubs may also record information about calls, such as an email gateway stub that remembers the messages it 'sent', or maybe only how many messages it 'sent'. Mocks are what we are talking about here: objects pre-programmed with expectations which form a specification of the calls they are expected to receive.

风格

模拟vs存根=行为测试vs状态测试

原则

根据每个测试只测试一件事的原则，一个测试中可能有几个存根，但一般只有一个mock。

生命周期

使用存根测试生命周期:

准备正在测试的对象和它的存根合作者。 锻炼——测试功能。 验证状态——使用断言来检查对象的状态。 Teardown -清理资源。

使用mock测试生命周期:

设置数据-准备正在测试的对象。 设置期望-在mock中准备主对象使用的期望。 锻炼——测试功能。 验证期望——验证在mock中调用了正确的方法。 验证状态——使用断言来检查对象的状态。 Teardown -清理资源。

总结

模拟测试和存根测试都给出了这个问题的答案:结果是什么?

使用模拟进行测试也感兴趣:结果是如何实现的?

我在阅读《单元测试的艺术》时，偶然发现了以下定义:

fake是一个通用术语，可以用来描述存根或模拟对象(手写或其他)，因为它们看起来都像真实的对象。赝品是存根还是mock取决于它在当前测试中的使用方式。如果它用于检查交互(根据其断言)，则它是一个模拟对象。否则，它就是存根。

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。

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

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

非常清楚和实际:

Stub:实现要伪造的类/对象的方法的类或对象，并且总是返回你想要的东西。

JavaScript示例:

var Stub = {
   method_a: function(param_a, param_b){
      return 'This is an static result';
   }
}

Mock:与存根相同，但是它增加了一些逻辑，当一个方法被调用时“验证”，这样你就可以确定某个实现正在调用该方法。

正如@mLevan所说，假设你正在测试一个用户注册类。在调用Save之后，它应该调用SendConfirmationEmail。

一个非常愚蠢的代码

var Mock = {
   calls: {
      method_a: 0
   }

   method_a: function(param_a, param_b){
     this.method_a++; 
     console.log('Mock.method_a its been called!');
   }
}
