The document discusses verified fakes, which are mock implementations that are verified by the same test suite as the real implementation. It describes using a verified fake of the Vuforia Web Services API to allow unit tests to run reliably and quickly without interacting with the real API. Requests Mock is used to mock HTTP requests, and Pytest fixtures are used to configure the mock for different tests. Parametrizing fixtures allows the same tests to run against both the real and mocked implementations. This verifies that the mock continues to match the real API's behavior.
