Disable all console methods

silencer.reset();
silencer.disable();
console.log('one');
console.info('three');
silencer.restore();
silencer.getOutput('log') // == [['one']]
silencer.getOutput('info') // == [['three']]

Use for mocking other objects

let mockObject = {
	test: function(){ throw Error('service not available') }
}
silencer.reset();
silencer.setSubject(mockObject);
silencer.disable();
mockObject.test(); // no error thrown
silencer.restore();
//
silencer.getOutput('test'); // == [[]] mean called once without parameters
