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
