Using Moq in an xUnit project to unit test a .NET project

Download our xUnit and class library projects to mock objects as part of unit tests.

The class library has a class and a few interfaces that use the Moq mocking framework to create mock objects that are used as part of unit tests.

The code example shows you how to set up methods to return a particular response, how to verify the number of times a method is called and how to handle exceptions.
