What are the best practices for mocking in C++?

When mocking in C++, it's important to use a mocking framework like Google Mock. This allows for easier setup and teardown of mocks.

Can you explain how to set up Google Mock?

Sure! First, include the Google Mock headers in your project. Then, define your mock classes by inheriting from the interfaces you want to mock.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid when mocking?

Common pitfalls include over-mocking, which can lead to fragile tests, and not verifying interactions, which can miss important behavior.

How do I verify that a mock was called?

You can use the EXPECT_CALL macro in Google Mock to set expectations on your mocks, and then use Verify() to check if they were met.
