[Boost-users] Stubbing for unit testing, what approach should I use

I am looking for set of techniques for isolation testing. As applications 
are designed with massive number of dependencies between classes and these 
dependencies end-up in external systems such as databases and OS, it's hard 
to extract function or part of class for efficient unit test.

Basically I need an advice on what coding techniques should be used to allow 
flexible (generic?) stubbing:
- function of a class may need to be tested in isolation from world (members 
could be global data for the purpose)
- class may be tested with stubbed set functions;
- data members could be stubbed, so no dependensies on classes which do not 
participate in test;

Please advice.
Andrew.
