Driver helps you to test the function of a module individually and if the function which is being tested by the diver calls another function then that function is known as a stub

Driver takes care that the entry point of the application is masked by that of the test code and gives full control to the test code Stubs are simulations of the sub-code that otherwise is very difficult to execute in the test code.

A stub is a brief section of compilable code that serves as a placeholder for future work. a driver is a brief test program that demonstrates the functionality of a class or a portion of class

Driver : It is a temporary Calling program.It functions similarly like main module for calling the sub modules. Stub : It is a temporary called program.It functions similarly like sub modules when called by the main module.

Driver:-The approach is to write a program that passes input data to the unit under test and compares the output to truth. Test drivers are higher-level routines that call lower-level subprograms. Stubs:- Stub is a simple routine that takes the place of the real routine. Stubs let you check the interfaces and higher levels of the program.

Driver is a small program used to test a function, Stub is a skeleton of function having function header. This function can have actual statements or simple statements which can be replaced with the actual code

Stub is a dummy program or component, the code is not ready for testing, it�s used for testing...that means, in a project if there are 4 modules and last is remaining and there is no time then we will use dummy program to complete that fourth module and we will run whole 4 modules also. The dummy program is also known as stub.
