# 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](https://easymock.org/)
* [Hamcrest](https://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.
Details and examples can be found here:
* [gMock for Dummies](https://google.github.io/googletest/gmock_for_dummies.html)
* [Legacy gMock FAQ](https://google.github.io/googletest/gmock_faq.html)
* [gMock Cookbook](https://google.github.io/googletest/gmock_cook_book.html)
* [gMock Cheat Sheet](https://google.github.io/googletest/gmock_cheat_sheet.html)
GoogleMock is a part of
[GoogleTest C++ testing framework](https://github.com/google/googletest/) and a
subject to the same requirements.
