DimeCasts.Net #164: Learning how to use Manual Mocks for Testing

In this episode we are going to take a look at how to use manual mocks for testing

Often times when creating unit tests we need to work in isolation in order to cover the paths we are attempting to test. When we want to test in isolation you can use a testing technique where you mock out your dependencies. When using Mocks you can either do it manually (what we are looking at) or you can use a mocking framework like Rhino Mocks. Either way you achieve the same results.

In this episode we are going to take a look at how create overloaded operators for your objects.

perator overloading permits user-defined operator implementations to be specified for operations where one or both of the operands are of a user-defined class or struct type. When creating your own operators there are many different operators which can be overloaded.

+, -, *, /, %, &, |, <<, >> All C# binary operators can be overloaded
+, -, !, ~, ++, –, true, false All C# unary operators can be overloaded
==, !=, <, >, <= , >= All relational operators can be overloaded, but only as pairs.
