Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests Without Mocks

This is a review of the Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests book (GOOS for short) in which I’ll show how to implement the sample project from the book in a way that doesn’t require mocks to be tested. Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests Without Mocks Let me first explain why I’m doing a review of this book. If you read this blog regularly, you probably noticed that I’m pretty much against using mocks in tests.
