SummaryMock Objects is an approach to Test-Driven Development that changes theway programmers think about code. It encourages them to think about howobjects interact with each other, rather than just how they work in isolation - asthe founders of Object Oriented programming intended. Objects should bedefined in terms of what they do, not what they are. Using Mock Objects withTest-Driven Development guides developers towards code with clearly focusedobjects and an emphasis on behavior over data - both features of good ObjectOriented programming.This book has been written by two of the originators of the concept, who havedeveloped and refined their understanding over years of practice on realprojects. The book describes the basic concepts and shows how they fit intothe development cycle. It also addresses the common misunderstandings andpitfalls that they have encountered.Author(s) ExpertiseSteve Freeman (UK) is a consultant with ThoughtWorks and has been involvedin the XP community since before there were books. He has a PhD inComputer Science and degrees in Statistics and Music, and was one of theauthors of the first Mock Object paper.Nat Pryce (UK) is an independent consultant with expertise in software design,software development process and practices. He is also a research fellow atImperial College. Nat is a developer of the jMock and nMock libraries for testdrivendevelopment.AudienceThis book is intended for people who are directly concerned with the writingof code: developers at various levels, technical leaders, development managers.They are expected to have experience with an OO language such as C# orJava.The CD/DVD/Web Sitehttp://www.mockobjects.com/
