Title: Mocking Demystified
By:Marcello Duarte
About: Replacing dependents with doubles is a central part of testing that every developer has to master. This talk goes over the different types of doubles and explains their place in testing, how to implement them in a mainstream mocking framework, and which strategies or doubles to use in different message exchange scenarios between objects. After this talk you will have moved a step forward in your understanding of testing in the context of object oriented programming.
