I honestly don’t remember last time I used mocking library. I use it it rare occasions but read blog post above

The tl:dr is that mocking generally encourages you to test that something is implemented a certain way, while fakes generally encourage you to test that something behaves a certain way. A subtle but important difference.

@kevin.cianfarini can you add more abouts you to test that something is implemented a certain way,

[kevin.cianfarini]

You shouldn't be tested that something is implemented a certain way. You should be testing that something behaves a certain way.
