Benefits of technology

[0017]It is possible to write the fake object and methods by hand or to use a mock framework 110. A mock framework 110 may dynamically create a fake object that implements the same interface of the real object (the same interface that is created using the Abstract Factory), and has the ability to define the behavior of the object and to validate the arguments passed to the object.

Problems solved by technology

This is not always possible (due to security means) or wanted (it may disturb other applications).
1. Fake a behavior that is scarce. (Dates, Out of Memory)
2. Fake slow running components. (Database, Internet)

Embodiment Construction

[0036]Reference is now made to FIG. 1 which is a simplified functional block diagram of a software isolation system constructed and operative in accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention. The run time system 102 is the system that actually runs the code and the tests; this could be an operating system, a scripting system or a virtual machine (as in Java or .NET). The weaver 104 is responsible for inserting the added hooking code into the production code base 106. In each method of the production code the weaver 104 may insert a small piece of code 107 that calls the Mock framework 110 which then decides whether to call the original code or to fake the call. The inserted code 107 can also modify the arguments passed to the production method if required. This is handy for arguments passed by reference.

[0037]The production code base 106 is the code that is to be isolated. There is no need to change the design of this code just to isolate the code. The test code 108 c...

Abstract

A software testing system operative to test a software application comprising a plurality of software components, at least some of which are highly coupled hence unable to support a dependency injection, each software component operative to perform a function, the system comprising apparatus for at least partially isolating, from within the software application, at least one highly coupled software component which performs a given function, and apparatus for testing at least the at least partially isolated highly coupled software component.
