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](docs/for_dummies.md) +* [Legacy gMock FAQ](docs/gmock_faq.md) +* [gMock Cookbook](docs/cook_book.md) +* [gMock Cheat Sheet](docs/cheat_sheet.md) + +Please note that code under scripts/generator/ is from the +[cppclean project](http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/) and under the Apache +License, which is different from GoogleMock's license. + +GoogleMock is a part of +[GoogleTest C++ testing framework](http://github.com/google/googletest/) and a +subject to the same requirements. |
