NAME
Test::Mock - A mock object testing framework in order to test behaviour and interactions between classes
VERSION
version 0.04
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Mock::Context;
# In your test:
my $context = Test::Mock::Context->new;
my $mock = $context->mock('Class::Name');
# Declare some expectations:
$context->expect($mock, 'method_name')
# Run some code on the mocks
$mock->method_name;
# Verify that your expectations were met:
$context->satisfied; # TrueDESCRIPTION
Mocking frameworks have existed for a while, and can be a great help when you need to test the interaction between objects. Test::Mock takes a JMock style approach to mocking -- you declare expectations, then run your code, and finally verify that your expectatiotns were met.

There are a few other modules that address the problem of mocking, and you may find them better for your problem domain:
- Test::Mock::Class
-
A Moose based mocking solution, with some basic support for mocking expectations.
- Test::MockClass
-
A simple implementation of mocking
- Test::MockObject
-
Goes as far as creating stub objects
This project was motivated by the JMock framework.
