- # Googletest Mocking (gMock) Framework
-
- ### Overview
-
- Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes. It can help you
- derive better designs of your system and write better tests.
-
- It is inspired by:
-
- * [jMock](http://www.jmock.org/)
- * [EasyMock](http://www.easymock.org/)
- * [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/)
-
- It is designed with C++'s specifics in mind.
-
- gMock:
-
- - Provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks.
- - Can define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real and mock
- objects.
- - Handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions.
- - Comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments.
- - Uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock.
- - Does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay needed).
- - Allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on function calls to be
- expressed.
- - Lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
- - Does not use exceptions.
- - Is easy to learn and use.
-
