AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text explains that it is possible to create fake objects and methods either by hand or using a mock framework. A mock framework can create a fake object that looks like the real object and can define its behavior and validate the arguments it receives. The technical effect of this is that it allows for more efficient and automated testing of software interfaces without having to create actual objects and methods.

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...
