In computer science, '''test stubs''' are programs that connect to online databases. |

A '''test stub''' is a [[test double]] that provides static values to the software under test. |

Test stubs are mainly used in High end node development. Stubs are computer programs that act as temporary replacement for a called module and give the same output as the actual product or software. |

A stub may be [[source code|coded]] by hand or generated via a [[software tool|tool]]. |

A test stub is a test double that provides static values to the software under test.
A test stub provides canned answers to calls made during the test, usually not responding at all to anything outside what's programmed in for the test.[1]
A stub may be coded by hand or generated via a tool.
