Mocking frameworks

Mocking frameworks are tools used in software testing that create simulated versions of real objects or components. These simulated objects mimic the behavior of actual parts of a system, allowing testers to focus on specific elements without dependencies on external systems or complex setups. By doing so, they help isolate and verify individual units of code more efficiently and accurately. Mocking frameworks also enable testing in controlled scenarios, ensuring that different conditions can be examined without relying on real-world variables or connections.
