What is AutoFixture AutoMoq?

Question

I was looking at nuget and wanted to import moq when I noticed AutoFixture AutoMoq. I see that AutoFixture is to help write TDD faster but I can't find any examples of AutoMoq and how it is different then AutoFixture.

Can someone point me to this AutoMoq so I can see what it is doing.

In short, AutoFixture.AutoMoq is an extension that turns AutoFixture into an Auto-Mocking Container using the Moq dynamic mock library.

There's also a similar extension for AutoFixture that enables auto-mocking with Rhino Mocks.

This article introduces auto-mocking for AutoFixture: http://blog.ploeh.dk/2010/08/19/AutoFixtureAsAnAutomockingContainer.aspx.

Here's a couple of follow-ups:

It would be good to see those links in the AutoFixture documentation. – Pavel Sapehin May 08 '17 at 10:45
