SearchLet Moxy generate mock object code from your C++ interface definitions.
Moxy lets you generate mock objects on the fly from C++ header files. Mock objects allow interaction-based unit testing and can improve object decoupling.
See our work on the Presenter First design pattern for decoupling GUI programming for unit testing. Mock Objects are very helpful in supporting the development and testing of Model View Presenter code triads. We presented this library for the first time at the GLSEC Conference in Grand Rapids in November of 2007.
This version of Moxy is not yet “Battle Tested”, though the concepts behind the generator have been used in a couple of large scale C++ projects.
Moxy is open source software available under the terms of the Common Public License.
