# 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/), and
|
||
|
|
* [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/),
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and 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, and
|
||
|
|
- is easy to learn and use.
