• Check if a method is called

const spy = sinon.spy(object, 'method')
...
spy.restore() // remove spy
expect(spy.callCount).to.be.eql(n) // check if the method is call n times

• Replace existing method with stub to avoid actually execute the method

function fake() {  // a fake function to be called
}

const stub = sinon.stub(object, 'method').callFakes(fake) // you could also replace the fake with another real function
...
stub.restore() // remove stub
expect(stub.callCount).to.be.eql(n) // check if the method is call n times
