Marcello Duarte - Mocking Demystified

Marcello Duarte is the lead developer of PHPSpec and heads the Training at Inviqa. As an agile coach, he's coached many teams in many organisations into Agile processes and development practices like Scrum, TDD, Refactoring, Collaborative Product Ownership and Software Quality.

The talk was about replacing dependents with doubles, a central part of testing that every developer has to master. The talk was about the different types of doubles and explained their place in testing, how to implement them in a mainstream mocking framework, and which strategies or doubles to use in different message exchange scenarios between objects.
