Testing Without Mocks: A Pattern Language

James Shore

Automated tests are important. Without them, programmers waste a huge amount of time manually checking and fixing their code. Unfortunately, many automated tests also waste a huge amount of time. The easy, obvious way to write tests is to make broad tests that are automated versions of manual tests. But they’re flaky and slow. Folks in the know use mocks and spies (I say “mocks” for short in this article) to write isolated interaction-based tests.
