This month's topic is Mock Objects, or simply "mocking". The agenda to guide the discussion is not set yet, but below is a list of items we'd like to cover. Feel free to add more to this list by making your suggestions in the mailing list.

  • We want to see code, not just talk
  • What and how hard or easy to use mocks are?
  • Are they just for testing?
  • Aren't they just noise?
  • Tools
  • How to do mocking well
  • Does the habit of using mocks lead to good design? Or the reverse?
  • Is TypeMock evil?
