How can I use mocking frameworks in C# for unit testing?

You can use frameworks like Moq or NSubstitute to create mock objects in your unit tests. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example using Moq.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

var mockService = new Mock<IMyService>();
mockService.Setup(s => s.GetData()).Returns("Mocked Data");

var myClass = new MyClass(mockService.Object);
var result = myClass.GetData();
// result will be "Mocked Data"

This sets up a mock for IMyService and specifies what it should return.

What are the benefits of using mocking frameworks?

Mocking frameworks help isolate the unit tests by simulating dependencies, making tests faster and more reliable.
