I am stuck in a problem and can't seem to find the solution. I am using VS2005 SP1 for compiling the code. I have a global function: A* foo(); I have a mock class class MockA : public A { public: MOCK_METHOD0 (bar, bool()); ... }; In the sources, it is accessed like this: foo()->bar() . I cannot find a way to mock this behavior. And I cannot change the sources, so the solution in google mock cook book is out of question. Any help or pointers in the right direction will be highly appreciated. :) πάντα ῥεῖ No it's not possible, without changing the sources, or bringing your own version of foo()

Is it possible to mock a static method using Rhino.Mocks? If Rhino does not support this, is there a pattern or something which would let me accomplish the same? Is it possible to mock a static method using Rhino.Mocks No, it is not possible. TypeMock can do this because it utilizes the CLR profiler to intercept and redirect calls. RhinoMocks, NMock, and Moq cannot do this because these libraries are simpler; they don't use the CLR profiler APIs. They are simpler in that they use proxies to intercept virtual members and interface calls. The downside of this simplicity is that they cannot mock

Suppose I have a class like so: public class StaticDude{ public static Object getGroove() { // ... some complex logic which returns an object }; } How do I mock the static method call using easy mock? StaticDude.getGroove() . I am using easy mock 3.0 Ben J Not sure how to with pure EasyMock, but consider using the PowerMock extensions to EasyMock. It has a lot of cool functions for doing just what you need - https://github.com/jayway/powermock/wiki/MockStatic Easymock is a testing framework for "for interfaces (and objects through the class extension)" so you can mock a class without an

I am using shanselmann's MvcMockHelper class to mock up some HttpContext stuff using Moq but the issue I am having is being able to assign something to my mocked session object in my MVC controller and then being able to read that same value in my unit test for verification purposes. My question is how do you assign a storage collection to the mocked session object to allow code such as session["UserName"] = "foo" to retain the "foo" value and have it be available in the unit test. I started with Scott Hanselman's MVCMockHelper , added a small class and made the modifications shown below to

Lots of people talk about writing tests for their code before they start writing their code. This practice is generally known as Test Driven Development or TDD for short. What benefits do I gain from writing software this way? How do I get started with this practice? Mike Stone There are a lot of benefits: You get immediate feedback on if your code is working, so you can find bugs faster By seeing the test go from red to green, you know that you have both a working regression test, and working code You gain confidence to refactor existing code, which means you can clean up code without
