Following on from my last post about setting up googletest to use with Visual Studio 2010 express edition, this post builds on that by showing how to build, setup and test the googlemock libraries.

If you have read the previous post, then the basic steps are very similar.

First, download the googlemock zip file and unzip it to known location. As before, I suggest something easy, either C:\gmock-1.6.0, or as in my case C:\src\gmock-1.6.0. One useful fact is that all the gtest […]

With the growth and acceptance of agile techniques, such as Test Driven Design (TDD), which is very well explained in James Grenning’s book Test Driven Development for Embedded C, we now have a set of tools and techniques that are:

Natural to use (as they use the native language)
Easy to use (to varying degrees)
Free

that allow the quality of embedded software to be significantly improved prior to target […]
