In Computer Programming and Computer Science, especially in Object-oriented programming, programmers and developers employ a technique called, "Automated unit testing" to enhance the quality of the software. Frequently, the final release software consists of a complex set of objects or procedures interacting together to create the final result. In Automated unit testing, it may be necessary to use objects or procedures that look and behave like their release-intended counterparts, but are actually simplified versions that reduce the complexity and facilitate testing. A Test Double is a generic (meta) term used for these objects or procedures.
