 | | Mock tests for the most part are intrusive in nature, they know things about how certain services are executed, how they are called, and the order of their internal execution plan. |
 | | Also, many times, simple mock implementation of an interface (sometimes called stub) is simpler then using an existing mock library, and requires much less understanding or the knowledge of yet another library we use in our project. |
 | | Probably you have seen the advantages of mocking advertised somewhere, but for me, the ability to test a component right away when using DC (Design by Contract) without having to wait for the its dependencies to be finished by my teammates is something I'll never want to loose. |
