Should I use AutoMapper in my unit tests?

Question

I\'m writing unit tests for ASP.NET MVC controller methods.

Those controllers have a dependency on IMapper - an interface I\'ve created to abstract AutoMapp

I'm in favour of #2 like jeriley

Adding to the Moq, if you need to return an object based on values passed to it you can write your setup like so:

mockObject.Setup(x => x.MapObject(It.IsAny())
          .Returns((ProductDto productDto) => 
           {
               var product = new Product()
               {
                   Id = productDto.Id,
                   Name = productDto.Name
               };

               return product
           });

Little bit messy but handy.
