Mockery
Flexible PHP mock-object framework with Hamcrest-style matchers, supporting partial mocks, static-method mocks and chained expectations.
Our Verdict
The go-to PHP mocking lib when PHPUnit mocks run out of steam, used with the usual mock-overuse caveat.
Pros
- Expressive Hamcrest-style matchers
- Handles partial and static mocks well
- Chained expectations read naturally
- Integrates cleanly with PHPUnit
Cons
- More flexible means easier to misuse
- Static mocks couple tests to globals
- Overlap with PHPUnit's own mocks confuses newcomers
- Debugging failed expectations can be cryptic
When to Use Mockery
Good fit if you need
- PHP mock objects with fluent expectation DSL
- Partial mocks for legacy PHP class isolation
- Static method mocking with overload mocks
- Hamcrest-style matchers for flexible argument assertions
