Rainsberger<p>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.</p>www.shanesbrain.neturn:uuid:6719d8b7-1db1-499a-ab7c-6157cea08f002006-01-19T00:18:09-05:002006-09-05T22:12:49-04:00Comment on Don't Mock Me said the Dummy Object by www.shanesbrain.net<p>Don’t mock me you stubby little fake dummy!</p>
