## Notes

gomock is a mocking framework for Go that generates mock implementations of Go interfaces. The `mockgen` tool takes a Go source file, a package archive or a package and writes the mock code, and the framework integrates with Go's built-in `testing` package. The project began as Google's `golang/mock` repository, which Google no longer maintains; Uber forked it and maintains the fork under the `go.uber.org/mock` module path.

## Worth knowing

The [README](https://github.com/uber-go/mock/blob/main/README.md) says the module supports the Go versions that the official Go Release Policy supports, which is the two most recent releases.
