How can I use mocking in my C++ tests?

You can use mocking frameworks like Google Mock to create mock objects in your C++ tests.

What are the benefits of using mocks in testing?

Mocks help isolate the unit under test, allowing you to test its behavior without relying on external dependencies.

Can you give me an example of a mock in C++?

Sure! Here's a simple example using Google Mock:

#include <gmock/gmock.h>

class Database {
public:
    virtual ~Database() {}
    virtual int getData() = 0;
};

class MockDatabase : public Database {
public:
    MOCK_METHOD(int, getData, (), (override));
};

This creates a mock class for a database.

How do I integrate Google Mock into my project?

You can integrate Google Mock by including its headers and linking against the library in your build system.
