Pose is a .NET isolation/mocking library that lets you replace any method—including static, non-virtual, and constructors—with a delegate at runtime. It is implemented entirely in managed code via Reflection Emit, requiring no profiling APIs or rewritten assemblies, and targets .NET Standard 2.0.

Use cases

• mock static methods in c# unit tests
• replace datetime.now in tests
• shim non-virtual instance methods in .net
• isolate code under test from console and system dependencies
• mock constructors in dotnet tests
• alternative to microsoft fakes without unmanaged apis

When to choose

• you need to mock static, non-virtual, or sealed methods in .NET tests
• you want a Microsoft Fakes alternative that works cross-platform without profiling APIs
• you test legacy .NET code that cannot be refactored for dependency injection

When to avoid

• you only need to mock interfaces or virtual methods—a standard mocking library like Moq is simpler
• your project targets modern .NET versions beyond what Pose supports
• you need actively maintained tooling with ongoing support
