# 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.
