Title Body

At my job we are using Moq for mocking and Unity for an IOC container. I am fairly new to this and do not have many resources at work to help me out with determining the best practices I should use. Right now, I have a group of repository interfaces (Ex: IRepository1, IRepository2... IRepository4) that a particular process needs to use to do its job. In the actual code I can determine all of the IRepository objects by using the IOC container and using the RegisterType() method. I am trying to figure out the best way to be able to test the method that needs the 4 mentioned repositories. I was thinking I could just register a new instance of the Unity IOC container and call RegisterInstance on the container for each mock object passing in the Mock.Object value for each one. I am trying to make this registration process reusable so I do not have to keep doing the same thing over and over with each unit test unless a unit test requires some specific data to come back from the repository. This is where the problem lies... what is the best practice for setting up expected values on a mocked repository? It seems like if I just call RegisterType on the Unity container that I would lose a reference to the actual Mock object and would not be able to override behavior.
