Martin Fowler posted a short entry on his bliki titled, TestDouble where he mentioned Gerard Meszaros’ book which is a collection of patterns for Xunit frameworks. Martin then describes how Gerard has encountered a lot of confusion over similar names for testing objects (stubs, mocks, fakes, dummies,...) in different frameworks and has provided a nice description of each to help you differentiate between them.

    I have to agree with Martin. Ever since Gerard showed me the matrix of “who calls what what”, I have called them ‘test doubles’; however, I /still/ use the term “fake” where he uses “stub”. Perhaps I can get out of that habit; I don’t know.

    Do you spend $50 or $500, do you get Diacount Coach Purses or kick-around-bag? It comes down to personal preference and what kind of usage the handbag in question will get. We have been lamenting over attempting to find the perfect beach bag. What I advise is buying Coach Purses that is in your comfort zone price wise and will perform the task you are looking for. Coach Handbags On Sale may release a younger-suited Poppy line but they continue to produce higher end leather lines which are doing well for them.
