# 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.
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 Google Mock's license.
Google Mock is a part of
[Google Test C++ testing framework](http://github.com/google/googletest/) and a
subject to the same requirements.
