The Google Mock Open Source Project on Ohloh. Hibernating Rhinos. Rhino Mocks is a dynamic mock object framework for the .Net platform. Its purpose is to ease testing by allowing the developer to create mock implementations of custom objects and verify the interactions using unit testing. License Rhino Mocks is Open Source and released under the BSD license. Community Rhino Mocks has a vibrant community, mostly in the mailing list. Show me the code As usual, the best way to explain what a library does is to look at the code using it.

What is it doing? Rhino Mocks will generate fake objects to replace the dependencies that you have, and then allow you to tell them, at runtime, how to behave. Mockito - Open Source Java Mocking Framework. Click here to view the complete list of tools reviews This article was originally published in the Summer 2012 issue of Methods & Tools Mockito - Open Source Java Mocking Framework Tomek Kaczanowski, Mockito is a popular open source Java mocking framework. It is very powerful and easy to use. It gives a lot of power into the hands of developers, but at the same time does not corrupt their hearts! Web Site: Tested: Mockito 1.9.0 on Linux with Java 1.6.0_26License & Pricing: Open Source (MIT License, User mailing list ( Using Mockito Mockito is distributed as a single JAR file, which must be available in the classpath in order to execute tests.

Why Test Doubles? Consider a simple class - named WeatherForecast - which fetches weather forecasts from some external sources (e.g. web services). Mockito's Features An Example like this: Limitations. EasyMock : Home. PHPUnit. PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for the PHP programming language. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks that originated with SUnit and became popular with JUnit. PHPUnit was created by Sebastian Bergmann and its development is hosted on GitHub. Purpose[edit] PHPUnit was created with the view that the sooner you detect your code mistakes, the quicker you can fix them. Like all Unit testing frameworks PHPUnit uses assertions to verify that behaviour of the unit of code under test behaves as expected.[1] Benefits[edit] The goal of unit testing is to isolate each part of the program and show that the individual parts are correct.

PHPUnit can output test results in a number of different formats, including JUnit XML, Test Anything Protocol, JSON, and TestDox. References[edit] External links[edit] CppUnit. The framework runs tests in suites. Test result output is sent to a filter, the most basic being a simple pass or fail count printed out, or more advanced filters allowing XML output compatible with continuous integration reporting systems.[3] The project has been forked several times.[4][5] The freedesktop.org version, maintained by Markus Mohrhard of the LibreOffice project (which uses CppUnit heavily), is actively maintained, and is used in Linux distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo and Arch.[6] See also[edit] Further reading[edit] Madden, Blake (6 April 2006). "1.7: Using CPPUnit to implement unit testing".

References[edit] External links[edit] Official website (freedesktop.org version) JUnit. A research survey performed in 2013 across 10,000 GitHub projects found that JUnit, along with slf4j-api, are the most popular libraries. Each library was used by 30.7% of projects. [3] Example of JUnit test fixture[edit] A JUnit test fixture is a Java object. With older versions of JUnit, fixtures had to inherit from junit.framework.TestCase, but the new tests using JUnit 4 should not do this.[4] Test methods must be annotated by the @Test annotation. If the situation requires it,[5] it is also possible to define a method to execute before (or after) each (or all) of the test methods with the @Before (or @After) and @BeforeClass (or @AfterClass) annotations.[4] Ports[edit] JUnit alternatives have been written in other languages including: See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Unit Testing: Writing Maintainable Unit Tests Save Time And Tears. Unit Testing Tips Write Maintainable Unit Tests That Will Save You Time And Tears Roy Osherove There's a lot of talk these days about unit testing and how one should go about writing unit tests for their applications under different scenarios (for starters, see my June 2005 MSDN®Magazine article on testing your data layer, available at Know Thy Code: Simplify Data Layer Unit Testing using Enterprise Services).

That means there are a lot of developers who say to themselves (and to their teams) "Hey, we should start writing tests, too! " And so they begin writing unit test upon unit test until they reach a point where the tests themselves become a problem. Perhaps maintaining them is too hard and takes too long, or they are not readable enough to make sense, or maybe they have bugs. It is at that point that developers are forced to make a tough decision: dedicate precious time to improving their tests or ignore the problem, effectively throwing away their hard work.
