Hello Panu, Welcome to Pharo!
The free Pharo By Example book ( http://pharobyexample.org/ ) has a chapter (7) on SUnit, the Smalltalk Unit Testing framework. This should get you started. The best place to learn about Smalltalk is by looking at code in your current image. There should be thousands of unit test there that can serve as examples. I am not sure how to answer your specific question. If you need a MockObject it seems that you should just define it in your test package and use it right there. I can see several examples in my image.
