Mocha is a Ruby library for mocking and stubbing in unit tests, providing a unified syntax for full and partial mocking of test doubles. It integrates with Minitest, Test::Unit, RSpec, and Cucumber.

Use cases

• stub methods on Ruby objects in unit tests
• create mock objects with expectations for unit testing
• mock with Minitest
• use mocha adapter with RSpec
• partially mock existing Ruby objects
• verify method invocation counts in tests

When to choose

• you need mocks or stubs in Ruby tests with Minitest, Test::Unit, or RSpec
• you want a simple, readable mocking syntax
• you need partial mocking of real objects

When to avoid

• you need test spies or fake objects, which Mocha deliberately does not support
• you are not writing Ruby
• you prefer RSpec's built-in double/expect syntax
