QuestionStubs needs a better name

  • Thursday, November 05, 2009 10:23 AMIan Ringrose Users MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers MedalsUsers Medals
     

    Search for “Stubs” on stackoverflow and it is very hard to find any questions/answers about the “Stubs” framework rather then about Stubs/mocks in general.

     

    Likewise on google.

     

    Therefore it is hard to anyone that is learning “Stubs”, so can we have a better name please…

    That's a very good point :(. We'll see if we can find something less generic to name the Stubs and Moles framework.

    How about simply "Pex Stubs and Moles"? That would strengthen the Pex brand as well.

    I agree with Ian. "Stubs" is too generic, it's hard to find information pertaining to Pex stubs.

    A name like "Pex Stubs and Moles" doesn't work either, because users will tend to leave off the Pex part, not knowing it's part of the name. (Just as people do not say "Microsoft .NET", they just say ".NET").

    Some name ideas, variants on the Mole theme:
    -Counterspy
    -Rat
    -Burrows
    -Defector

    Then, let's stick with 'Moles'.
