Test suite smell:
Suite takes too long to runWhen I first started to use JUnit, I did it to help me get a piece of code work. This set of classes where too complicated, unforunatly I couldn't isolate this from the rest of the system and my tests became integration tests that took too long and do not even cover 10% of the tests.
(...) These tests are more often than not integration/system tests (...)
Since then I've learn from my mistakes and I've mocked up some parts to get holy isolation.
But mock aren't always the answer...
Over reliance on mock testingExemple: A classe need a file, but you can't rely on the file to be in the file system when you run the test, then you mock it up.
(...) the usage of mock/stub to stand in for real implementations is that the standins do perform in a fashion largely identical to the real thing. If this is not the case (...) then reality will tend to remind you of this mistmatch (...)
The MockInputStream need to behave like a normal InputStream otherwise your test can get a green bar and never work with a real file...
