## What it is
OCMock is an Objective-C implementation of mock objects for unit testing, supporting stubs, dynamic mocks, partial mocks, and strict expectations. It integrates with Xcode test targets via CocoaPods or Carthage for both iOS and macOS development.

## Use cases
- stub method return values in Objective-C unit tests
- verify interactions between objects in tests
- mock NSUserDefaults and other system classes
- create partial mocks to override methods on real objects
- mock protocols and class methods
- write strict mocks that fail on unexpected calls

## When to choose
- writing unit tests for Objective-C code on iOS or macOS
- you need stubs, verification, or partial mocks in XCTest
- you want a mature, well-documented mocking library for Apple platforms

## When to avoid
- testing Swift-only code where Swift-native mocking may fit better
- non-Apple platforms or non-Objective-C runtimes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: mocking, testing
- domain: testing, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: objective-c, mock-objects, unit-testing, stubs, xcode, macos, ios
