Developers consider Unit testing as a basic and common practice where they can develop test cases along with regular source code. In modern Software development era testing is one of the essential part in terms of the quality of the system along with low maintenance cost. During the development phase of the unit tests, we often have deal with major problems. One among them is the replacement of existing dependencies which forces to replace or modify the source code itself. Generally, we add an extra constructor function in the source code or use the concept of template specialization to meet the needs. In C++, Unit test codes are generally bind together with the unit of source code we want to test. The goal is to explain the different types of techniques that prevent to minimal modification of the source code while writing the tests and how to develop a good unit test framework to maintain the quality of code with low cost and maintenance. To avoid the dependencies, we make use of Mocking technique in which we hide the basic code implementation and mocks the dependent function. This helps in easy testing and checks only the small unit of source code functionality we need to test as a single unit. Thus, verifying and validating all the possible combinations of the source code that is needed to be tested. Thus, It is important to be sure that one feature is tested at a time and should be notified if any error occurs at that point of time only. A technique of Mock objects and test Helpers is proposed that replaces source code with fake code implementations that simulate the real code.
