Say there are multiple requests in a integration test, some of them are local sphinx calls(locator for example).
Should we just stub out the entire response of these sphinx call, or, since it is a integration test, we want to excise the entire test without stubbing. If that is the case, how do we still keep test independent in the situation when sphinx fails, no internet connection, or third party server non-responsive.
Give reasons.
Thanks
I think you answered your own question. If you want to be isolated from your “sphinx” thing (I assume it is some boundary) you are better off mocking it and run everything else as it would normally run, as an integration test. That way, as you yourself said, you can test connection loss and other unexpected situations.
