In this session you will learn your way around Python 3’s
unittest.mock package through examples. You’ll learn about the Mock
class, sentinels and patching. You will see the benefits that mocks
can bring and learn to avoid the pitfalls. Along the way I’ll fill you
in on some of the bewildering terminology surrounding mocks such as
“SUT”, “Stub”, “Double”, “Dummy” , “mockist” and more and I’ll give a
brief plug for my own mockextras package that can enhance your mock
experience.

Mock objects can be a powerful tool to write easy, reliable tests for
the most difficult to test code. In this session you will learn your
way around Python 3’s unittest.mock package starting at the simplest
examples and working through progressively more problematic code.
You’ll learn about the Mock class, sentinels and patching and how and
when to use each of them. You will see the benefits that mocks can
bring and learn to avoid the pitfalls. Along the way I’ll fill you in
on some of the bewildering terminology surrounding mocks such as
“SUT”, “Stub”, “Double”, “Dummy” , “mockist” and more and I’ll give a
brief plug for my own mockextras package that can enhance your mock
