Question

A ________ is a dummy function that is called instead of the actual function it represents, to test that the call to and return from the function are working correctly.

Answer 1

stub

Step-by-step explanation:

A stub can demonstrate the behavior of a code block (function or method) and as such it can be used as a temporal substitute, place holder or dummy function for code segments that are yet to be written to test the call and return from the function.
