Cuckoo is a boilerplate-free mocking framework for Swift, using a compile-time code generator (Cuckoonator/build plugin) to create mock classes and a Mockito-inspired runtime DSL. It supports mocking protocols and classes via inheritance, with stubbing and matchers for unit tests.

Use cases

• mock swift protocols and classes in unit tests
• stub method calls with mockito-style syntax
• generate mocks automatically at build time
• test ios app code with mocked dependencies
• verify method calls with matchers in swift tests

When to choose

• you write Swift unit tests and want Mockito-like mocking without boilerplate
• your project uses protocols or class hierarchies that can be mocked via inheritance
• you use SwiftPM or CocoaPods and want build-plugin mock generation

When to avoid

• you need to mock structs, final/private members, or static methods
• you prefer runtime reflection-based mocking without code generation
• your project targets platforms below iOS 13/macOS 10.15
