What Mocking Framework to use?

Question

I am using MSTest to write my unit tests. I am just wondering what mocking framework do you recommend me to use? or you have a good experience with it.

Mocking frameworks I have seen:

• TypeMock (although it's good but it's not free and my Company is not willing to pay for it)
• NMock (doesn't let me mock static methods apparently)
• EasyMock
• RhinoMock (doesn't let me mock static methods apparently)
• Moq

I need to be able to mock static classes and static methods (for instance mocking HttpContext)

Thanks.

Answer 1

No mocking framework based on transparent proxies will let you mock static classes /methods so you're left only with TypeMock (the rest of them are using AFAIK transparent proxies).

Answer 2

Thanks Paul for your response.

I imagine I need to write some helper classes for mocking static methods that I require.

I found this which contains some helper classes for Rhino Mocks and Moq.
