What is the difference between stub & Driver? which is needed in Top Up & Bottom Down Test..

Answer / kapil sood

Stubs and drivers are nothing but codes or programs that we
use for testing bottom up and top down testing.

For Bottom up testing we use drivers and for Top down
testing we use stubs.

Stub is special purpose program which is used to simulate
the activity of missing component.

Driver is special code to aid the integration or routine
that calls particular component and passes test case to it.
