I'm happy to announce a new mocking library developed at Funkwerk.

Funkwerk maintained dmocks for some time, but dmocks had some design limitations,  among others, that it relies on dynamic casts and runtime type information (by use of typeid).
It was possible to construct expectations that aren’t really well-typed. And if dmocks doesn’t catch such problems internally, they cause runtime errors that are difficult to track. Over time we fixed a bunch of related bugs, but the question raised, whether we can generate more code since the most information needed to build a mock is given at compile-time. After the initial draft and some internal testing, I finished the first full-featured version and am releasing mockeD 1.x.

- mockeD catches type errors at compile-time.
- has almost the same API as dmocks
- supports only mocking by inheritance. Structs, final classes, final methods aren’t mockable.
- mockeD provides a separate stub API. Stubs can everything mocks can, but the calls on stubs aren’t verified at the end.

By searching for the exact definition of Mocking Framework I found the Wikipedia Page for it, so you might want to add your framework there,
 too: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mocking_Framework

Beside the frameworks for the other languages.

Actually I am searching for the best way to make unit tests for a small program,
reading values from a pdf converted to txt and than writing them into mysql.
So I might just use your work. Thank you.

Best regards mt.
