<p>With unit tests, you need to mock <strong>everything</strong>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If what you're testing has a dependency, you need to create and use a mock version.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the mock has its own dependencies, you need to mock those, too.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've written unit tests with mocks and accidentally only tested the mocks instead of the functionality I intended.</p>

<p>With integration tests, you can use and test the real dependencies.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Whilst they may be slightly slower to run, I prefer the simpler setup, less need for mocks, and knowing the real services work - not just the mocked versions.</p>
