Topic: Unit testing with Mock

Speaker: Daryl Spitzer

LINKS: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock.html#introduction

Daryl will present examples using Michael Foord's Mock library to create unit tests with mocks or stubs taking the place of module and built-in functions.

As Mr. Foord writes in http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock.html#introduction
"Most mocking libraries follow the 'record -> replay' pattern of mocking. I prefer the 'action -> assertion' pattern, which is more readable and intuitive particularly when working with the Python unittest module."
