This lightning talk was presented at RailsConf 2022 as a fast paced (but gentle!) introduction to Mocktail, a new mocking library for Ruby. (github.com/testdouble/mocktail)

If you’re looking for another talk on this topic, consider watching the companion talk, Please don’t mock me: blog.testdouble.com/talks/2018-03-06-please-dont-mock-me It’s a much longer talk, and so it takes the time needed to discuss some of the patterns and pitfalls to keep in mind when using test doubles in your tests.
