+# 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.
+
+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](http://github.com/google/googletest/) and a
+subject to the same requirements.
