What is driver and stub? where it is used, in top down or bottom up approach?..

Answer / varsha b

Driver and stub is used in integration testing.

Driver is used in bottom up approach of integration
testing.driver calls the function to be tested.

Stub is used in top down approach of integration
testing.stub is called by the function to be tested.It is a
piece of code which stimulates the activity of other module
in system.

E.g. System consist of modules A,B and C.
Development of module A and B is done.Now we cant afford to
wait till the time module C is ready.In this case we can
develop dummy of module c which will stimulate the activity
of module c in system and we can continue with our
integration testing.Here dummy of module C is stub.When we
will connect all three modules to ensure they function
properly then it is called as driver.

What is driver and stub? where it is used, in top down or bottom up approach?..

Answer / ajk

while integrating different functionality or modules to
unfinished module, drivers and stubs are used. driver acts
as parent module when integrating to a child component so it
is bottom up approach and stub acts as a missing child
component when it is integrated to a parent module so is top
to bottom approach.
