Dsc+Mock: a test case + mock class generator in support of coding against interfaces
Abstract
Coding against interfaces is a powerful technique in object-oriented programming. It decouples code and enables independent development. However, code decoupled via interfaces poses additional challenges for testing and dynamic execution, as not all pieces of code that are necessary to execute a piece of code may be available. For example, a client class may be coded against several interfaces. For testing, however, no classes may be available that implement the interfaces. This means that, to support testing, we need to generate mock classes along with test cases. Current test case generators do not fully support this kind of independent development and testing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
