NAME

Test::Builder::Mock::Class - Simulating other classes for Test::Builder

SYNOPSIS

      use Test::Builder::Mock::Class ':all';
      use Test::More 'no_plan';

      # concrete mock class
      mock_class 'Net::FTP' => 'Net::FTP::Mock';
      my $mock_object1 = Net::FTP::Mock->new;
      $mock_object1->mock_tally;

      # anonymous mocked class
      my $metamock2 = mock_anon_class 'Net::FTP';
      my $mock_object2 = $metamock2->new_object;
      $mock_object2->mock_tally;

      # anonymous class with role applied
      my $metamock3 = Test::Builder::Mock::Class->create_mock_anon_class(
          class => 'Net::FTP',
          roles => [ 'My::Handler::Role' ],
      );
      my $mock_object3 = $metamock3->new_object;
      $mock_object3->mock_tally;

DESCRIPTION

This module adds support for standard Test::Builder framework (Test::Simple or Test::More) to Test::Mock::Class.

Mock class can be used to create mock objects which can simulate the behavior of complex, real (non-mock) objects and are therefore useful when a real object is impractical or impossible to incorporate into a unit test.

See Test::Mock::Class for more detailed documentation.

BUGS

The API is not stable yet and can be changed in future.
