Learning About Mock Objects
Tuesday, January 28, 2003

I just re-read Endo-Testing: Unit Testing with Mock Objects and it's beginning to fully hit me. It just seemed too simple. How could such a seemingly naive, tiny Java class defer the need for entire layers of architecture? How could a few mock ATG classes render the issue of the slow ATG restart harmless?

It's starting to sink in, and now I've got to help my team to experience for themselves what Mock Objects can do for us.
