Early layouts of a World Wide Web site or pages are often called ''mockups''. A large selection of proprietary or open-source software tools are available for this purpose.
When designing a functional piece of furniture, such as a desk or table, mockups can be used to test whether they suit typical human shapes and sizes. Designs that fail to consider these issues may not be practical to use. Mockups can also be used to test color, finish, and design details which cannot be visualized from the initial drawings and sketches. Mockups used for this purpose can be on a reduced scale.
The cost of making mockups is often more than repaid by the savings made by avoiding going into production with a design which needs improvement.
Mockups are often used to create Unit tests - there they are usually called Mock objects. The main reasons to create such mockups is to be able to test one part of a software system (a unit) without having to use dependent modules. The function of these dependencies is then "faked" using mock objects.
This is especially important if the functions that are simulated like this are difficult to obtain (for example because it involves complex computation) or if the result is non-deterministic, such as the readout of a sensor.
Mockup Software can also be used for micro level evaluation, for example to check a single function, and derive results from the tests to enhance the products power and usability on the whole.

Troy graduated from Glenn Hills High School (Augusta, Georgia), and attended [[Paine College in Augusta, Georgia, before deciding to fully pursue his career in rap.
Pastor Troy is well-known for his ''Well uh-huh!'' and even has a song about it on a later album. He released his first album, ''We Ready (I Declare War)'', in 1999. Subsequently, he was featured in several songs by other artists and helped get other up and coming artists get a name for themselves, i.e. Rasheeda/Que bo gold ("do it"), and underground hip-hop producer Joey Cutless, who now produces soundtracks for network television and composes film scores. Ludacris featured Troy on his album ''Back for the First Time'' in the song "Get Off Me." In addition, Pastor Troy is the front man of the rap group D.S.G.B. (Down South Georgia Boys). DSGB originated in Augusta, Georgia. He was also featured on the collaborative album ''Kings of Crunk'' by Lil Jon in the song "Throw it Up". Troy and then friend Lil' Jon reached the top of the charts in the south with songs such as "Vice Versa" and "Throw it Up". Since being in the music industry, Pastor Troy has been in public conflict with Master P, Lil Scrappy and The BME Click, and Sno, with whom he has since come to terms. In 2002, Troy's album ''Universal Soldier'' became popular in the South, especially with the song "Are We Cuttin'" featuring Ms. Jade, which was also featured on the soundtrack for the action film ''xXx'' that year. The album debuted at #13 on the Billboard 200. In 2003, Troy appeared on Young Jeezy's 2003 album ''Come Shop wit' Me'' on the track titled "GA".
Troy later released one of his more commercial albums, ''By Any Means Necessary'', in 2004. This album included the hit "Ridin' Big". Following this release, Pastor Troy was released from his Universal contract because of creativity disputes. He then released ''Face Off, Part II'', which addressed some issues with Lil Scrappy and BME, adding new songs, and even remade some of his hits. In 2005, he appeared with Killer Mike on Chamillionaire's track "Southern Takeover" off of ''The Sound of Revenge''.
Pastor Troy released three albums in 2006, starting with ''Stay Tru'', then followed by ''By Choice Or By Force'' and ''Atlanta 2 Memphis'', which is a collaboration album with Memphis rapper Criminal Manne. ''Stay Tru'' debuted at the Billboard 200 at #150, selling 6,000 copies its first week. Currently, Pastor Troy is signed with two record labels. SMC (''Stay Tru'', ''Tool Muziq'') and Money and Power Records (''Face Off Part 2'', ''Atlanta 2 Memphis'').
Pastor Troy released his 16th solo album, ''Ready For War'', in June 2009.
