libdbd-mock-perl binary package in Ubuntu Xenial amd64
Testing with databases can be tricky. If you are developing a system married
to a single database then you can make some assumptions about your
environment and ask the user to provide relevant connection information. But
if you need to test a framework that uses DBI, particularly a framework that
uses different types of persistence schemes, then it may be more useful to
simply verify what the framework is trying to do -- ensure the right SQL is
generated and that the correct parameters are bound. DBD::Mock makes it easy
to just modify your configuration (presumably held outside your code) and
just use it instead of DBD::Foo (like DBD::Pg or DBD::mysql) in your
framework.
