STUBBING Meaning and
Definition
-
Stubbing is a term used to describe an action in which a function or method is replaced temporarily with a test-specific implementation. This practice is commonly used in unit testing, particularly in the context of mocking and faking dependencies. By stubbing a function or method, its original behavior is overridden with a predetermined response that helps to create controlled and predictable test scenarios.
When stubbing, a temporary implementation is created for the function or method under test, which often returns a hard-coded value or performs a specific action. This allows developers to isolate the code being tested from external dependencies or complex components that may hinder the test's accuracy or performance, such as a database or network connection.
In stubbing, the focus is on substituting specific behaviors rather than testing the internal logic or implementation details of the function or method. By stubbing, developers can control the input and output of the code being tested, ensuring that the behavior being examined is consistent and predictable.
Stubbing can be implemented manually or using specialized testing frameworks and libraries that provide tools for stub creation and management. Its purpose is to simplify the testing process, enabling developers to test code in isolation and verify its behavior under controlled conditions. Overall, stubbing facilitates the development of unit tests that are focused, reliable, and efficient.

Etymology of STUBBING
The etymology of the word "stubbing" can be traced back to the Middle English word "stubben", which referred to the act of striking or hitting. This word is related to the Old Norse word "stoppa" and the Old High German word "stopfōn", both of which meant to strike or thrust. Over time, the meaning of "stubbing" evolved to specifically refer to the act of striking one's foot against an object, typically resulting in pain or injury.
