FakeItEasy is a .NET dynamic fake library for creating fake objects, mocks, and stubs in tests. It provides a fluent, context-aware API where all fakes behave as mocks or stubs depending on usage, with identical syntax for configuration and assertion.
Use cases
- create mock objects for unit tests in .NET
- stub dependencies in C# tests
- verify method calls happened in tests
- fake interfaces and classes for test isolation
- replace Moq with an easier mocking library
- raise events from faked objects in tests
When to choose
- you want a simple, fluent mocking API for C# or VB.NET
- you prefer fakes over explicit mock/stub distinctions
- you need type-safe faking of classes with constructor arguments
When to avoid
- you're not developing on the .NET platform
- you need mocking features outside unit testing
- you're locked into an existing mocking framework's API
