Intro To Rspec Mocks

Generally speaking, a mock is a replica or imitation of something. RSpec mocks, in the same sense, are an imitation of return values or method implementations. The ability to carry out this kind of imitation makes it possible to set expectations that specific messages are received by an object. Amazing, right? 😃 RSpec mocks create test doubles with which we can implement our imitations, although these imitations can also be carried out on objects that are part of one's system.
