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:

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.

GoogleMock is a part of GoogleTest C++ testing framework and a subject to the same requirements.
