9f95a23c | 3 | ### Overview |

5 | Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes. It can help you |
6 | derive better designs of your system and write better tests. | |

12 | * [Hamcrest](http://code.google.com/p/hamcrest/), | |

16 | gMock: |
17 | ||
18 | - provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks, | |
19 | - can define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real and mock | |
20 | objects, | |
21 | - handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions, | |
22 | - comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments, | |
23 | - uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock, | |
24 | - does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay needed), | |
25 | - allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on function calls to be | |
26 | expressed, | |
27 | - lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions. | |
28 | - does not use exceptions, and | |
29 | - is easy to learn and use. | |
