Testing Question

[NewsBot]

So I have an already developed set of code which I want to test.

 

At the moment the code's going all the way down to a database to get some details that I'd like to be able to insert by hand. Initially I thought "ah ha! I'll try mocking" (never having tried it before) but NMock won't let me, as I'm not trying to implement an interface in a dummy version. There's already a class in existence, so nmock says I can't play. (Which I should have realized earlier, but I didn't have time to read all the documentation before having a stab at getting it going.)

 

I know that I just need to set a few properties, and block a call to a function I don't need, is there any way to mock a single function, or replace a function at test time with a crippled version?

 

The alternative, deploying a test database onto every machine running tests,*would be extremely tedious.
