The purpose of implementation-based testing is to gain a measure of confidence in the correctness of the software by providing adequate coverage of the code. One unit of testing in object-oriented software is a class. However, classes use other classes and if class interactions form a cycle of dependencies then, to test a client class that uses an untested supplier class, stubs must be construc...
