New Mocha Docs

Posted by James Mead Sun, 03 Sep 2006 18:20:00 GMT

Spurred on by Thorsten’s comment on Gluttonous’ blog and a mention of Mocha in the Top 5 Rails Stories of the Week, I’ve given the Mocha documentation a major overhaul.

Now the RDoc only shows the public API which should hopefully improve the signal-to-noise ratio and show how simple it is to use.

• Create traditional mock objects
• Set expectations on traditional mock objects
• Set expectations on real (non-mock) classes
• Make expectations more specific or define behaviour of stub

• Quick Start
• Traditional mocking
• Setting expectations on real (non-mock) classes

Good general information on mocking…

• Mocks Aren’t Stubs by Martin Fowler
• JMock – Yoga for your unit tests by Nat Pryce
