If you haven't completed Exercise 42: Team Mock Clock, do so before completing this one. Notes from this are due at the end of class.

After that, answer the following questions. Use a couple of sentences (at least) for each of them.

1. Explain what it takes to add the same test to each of the branches:
   a. main direct testing
   b. dip Using DIP (Dependency Inversion Principle)

   a. main direct testing
   b. dip Using DIP (Dependency Inversion Principle)
   c. mock Using a mock object

   b. Easiest to understand what is going on:
   c. Time to run the tests:
