## Google Test ##
Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and
GoogleMock projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense to
maintain and release them together.

## About Google Mock ##
**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock classes.
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.

Google Mock:
### Features ###
- provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks,
- can easily 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.

You can also easily configure Google Mock to work with another testing
framework, although it will still need Google Test. Please read

### Getting the Source ###
### Building Google Mock ###
There are two primary ways of getting Google Mock's source code: you
can download a [stable source release](releases),
or directly check out the source from our Git repository.
The Git checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software
packages on your system, but lets you track development and make
patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
#### Preparing to Build (Unix only) ####
### Git Checkout ###
To check out the master branch of Google Mock, run the following git command:
git clone https://github.com/google/googlemock.git

If you are using a Unix system and plan to use the GNU Autotools build

configure it now.
To prepare the Autotools build system, enter the target directory of
the checkout command you used ('gmock-svn') and proceed with the
following command:
To prepare the Autotools build system:
cd googlemock
autoreconf -fvi
Once you have completed this step, you are ready to build the library.
Note that you should only need to complete this step once. The
subsequent 'make' invocations will automatically re-generate the bits
of the build system that need to be changed.
If your system uses older versions of the autotools, the above command
will fail. You may need to explicitly specify a version to use. For
instance, if you have both GNU Automake 1.4 and 1.9 installed and
'automake' would invoke the 1.4, use instead:
AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 autoreconf -fvi
Make sure you're using the same version of automake and aclocal.
### Preparing to Build ###
To build Google Mock and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
build system where to find its headers and source files. The exact
way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
straightforward.

existing build system.
