Definition/
Use Program or program part used during integration to make available certain function or performance characteristics of a SW Module, a Database, a SW Component or a SW Unit. In the sense of the V-Model, a dummy may be a stub or a driver:

A stub is a reserved space for a SW Module or one or several SW Components in a SW substructure. The stub makes it possible that the SW substructure may be translated or processed in a limited way. Thus, informal assessments can be realized under certain criteria without the necessity that a SW Module, a SW Component or a SW Unit are completely available.

A driver is a sequence control program. It is used to execute and thus informally assess SW substructures for whom the intended process environment is not yet available.
