Bogus

Bogus is a Ruby API library used for minimizing risks involved in isolated unit testing. It was initially released in July 2012 by rubygems.org. Through Bogus, a piece of code can be tested in a fast and safe manner, without any actual integration with external programs. Bogus cannot mock or stub methods not present in the required external environment. Features Ruby provides various features to achieve the required testing framework. Fakes Fakes are lightweight objects that mock actual objects' interface. In order to test a class in isolation, usually some test doubles or anonymous objects are used in place of integrated classes with required methods stubbed in it. But there is a problem with this approach, If the class is changed in between, those changes are not reflected in mock objects and tests run without any integration exceptions. Fakes resolve this problem as they will have exact interface of real collaborator and will raise an exception whenever the actual class is modified. Fakes can be implemented using the following methodologies.
