The document discusses the concept of 'fake it outside-in TDD,' highlighting various influences and practices stemming from TDD principles established by Kent Beck and others. It emphasizes the combination of strategies like outside-in development, triangulation, and preparatory refactoring to enhance testing and development processes. Additionally, it explores examples of implementation and integration principles while addressing trade-offs and best practices in software development.

51. CONDITIONAL INTERACTIONS
Mocking when IOSP not possible
public String signup(String username) throws Exception {
