Understanding the Python Mock Object Library Quiz

Interactive Quiz ⋅ 12 Questions
By Martin Breuss

In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of Python’s unittest.mock library. This library can help you write tests, create mock objects, and ensure your code is reliable and efficient.

You’ll revisit how to create Python Mock objects, assert that you’re using objects as you intend, inspect usage data stored on your Python mocks, configure certain aspects of your Python mock objects, and substitute your mocks for real objects using patch().

You’ll also revisit how to avoid some common problems that are inherent in Python mocking.

The quiz contains 12 questions and there is no time limit. You’ll get 1 point for each correct answer. At the end of the quiz, you’ll receive a total score. The maximum score is 100%. Good luck!
