Mock⚓︎

Mock?

Mock means "fake". The point of using mock is for parallelize development. When we want to test the frontend, if the backend is still in development, we can use a mock server or mock data for temporal use.

When use mock?
  1. Testing (unit test, integration test).
  2. Parallelize work (frontend and backend).
  3. Develop without the payment 💰💰💰 for real server responses and requests.

Mock Server⚓︎

Mock Server

Definition: imitate a real server by providing realistic mock responses to requests.

Properties:

  • Same abstract interface/contract (e.g. REST API).
  • Not a real implementation.

Mock Object⚓︎

Mock Object

Definition: in OOP (object-oriented programming), mock object is a simulated object that mimics the behavior of real objects in controlled ways (e.g. Mock class, Mock struct).
