A New Trick

Author Eli Lopian    Category .NET Tests, TDD     Tags

I have read this post Interaction based testing using TypeMock.

This code:

Mock clientMock = MockManager.Mock(typeof (Client));
clientMock.Strict = true;

Client client = new Client();

Is exactly the same as this code:

MockObject<Client> clientMock = MockManager.MockObject<Client>();

Client client = clientMock.Object;

I prefer the latter, the main reason being that using MockObject  ensures that the Object is the one being mocked.

Here is an example that won’t work because we added a new Mock before the previous code:

Mock firstClientMock = MockManager.Mock(typeof (Client));

Mock clientMock = MockManager.Mock(typeof (Client));
clientMock.Strict = true;

Client client = new Client();  // this will be contolled by firstClientMock

In this case our client is controlled by the firstClientMock instead of the clientMock. This won’t happen if we use MockObject
