Mock object testing
Good tests are hard to write. High code coverage does not equate to well tested code.
In this session focus is on unit testing. We will learn what are good tests. How do you ensure that your code base is robust and well tested. We hear that unit tests must be narrow and shallow. But your code depends on a servlet container here, a database there, an ERP system, web-services. How does one test around all this ball-and-chain?
Enter mock objects. We will learn to leverage mock objects to develop focused tests that exercise interfaces that are normally beyond your control! With the proper tooling you will see that stubbing, verifying exceptions, mocking private or static methods is a piece of cake.
