A small correction its not "steps" they are called stubs

In normal programming if a person writes two functions

say FUN-A and FUN -B

Lets assume

If FUN-A  calls FUN-B and

Fun-B returns some value to FUN -A then

To test the FUN-A we will consider FUN B works fine and put  one stub in place of FUN-B(just remove entire logic and just return only the value expected by the FUN-A)

 if the expected result is same as the actual result then we consider FUN-A is working fine if anything wrong then FUN-A is wrong

Just isolating the FUN-A for finding the problem in FUN-A

Same way we apply to FUN-B in this case we will supply correct Values from FUN-A(removing the logic in FUN -A) to FUN-B and check the logic of FUN-B in isolation. So empty FUN-A driving the FUN-B here to find problems in FUN_B

Hi,

In the Question the thing should be stubs instead of steps.

Drivers and Stubs concept comesin Integration testing.

Drivers- The one which replaces the main module is called driver.

Stubs- The modules which can replace submodules is called stubs.

Drivers come in Bottom-Up approach, where as Stubs come in Top - down approach.
