Hippomocks
A single-header C++ mocking framework for unit testing with minimal dependencies.
What is Hippomocks?
Hippomocks is a single-header mocking framework for C++ that provides mock objects for unit testing. It helps developers isolate code under test by creating mock implementations of dependencies and verifying interactions during test execution.
C++ developers writing unit tests who need a lightweight, easy-to-integrate mocking solution without complex dependencies.
Developers choose Hippomocks for its simplicity—being a single header file means no build system integration headaches—and its focus on minimal dependencies while providing essential mocking capabilities.
Overview
Hippomocks is a lightweight C++ mocking framework distributed as a single header file, designed to simplify unit testing by providing mock objects for dependencies. It enables developers to isolate code under test and verify interactions without complex setup or external dependencies.
Key Features
- Single-header distribution — No library linking or complex build system integration required
- Minimal dependencies — Works with standard C++ without requiring additional frameworks
- Mock object creation — Generate mock implementations of interfaces and classes for testing
- Expectation verification — Set and verify expectations on method calls and parameters
- Travis CI integration — Continuously tested to ensure reliability across environments
Philosophy
Hippomocks prioritizes simplicity and ease of integration, allowing developers to focus on writing tests rather than configuring mocking infrastructure.
