Who's using Moq? #372

Closed fabiogouw closed 7 years ago

fabiogouw commented 7 years ago

Hello. I'm preparing a presentation to advocate the use of Moq at the place I work. To make this presentation more robust, I'd like to list famous projects that uses this library. Does anyone here help me with this?

Thanks

I personally cannot provide any substantial help, sorry. I simply don't have the data and wouldn't really know where to begin.

I guess you could look at who starred / forked the repository, who submitted issues / pull requests, or who blogged about it, and follow up on those, but that will give you a incomplete picture at best. If you want Big Name Companies™ mentioned in your presentation, if such a company has any open-source projects, you might want to check them out, too.

Or try selling Moq primarily for its own merits, and not just because who else uses it. :-)

Thanks for your answer, @stakx

I'm selling Moq to people that had preference for Moles because it had "Microsoft's support", so for them it's important to have references. But at least I was able to find some interesting statistics at Nuget's website:

I hope these numbers can help me!

Just my 2 cents, I have worked at numerous financial institutions over last decade or so, and other than using Rhino.Mocks (when Moq wasn't around and/or discovered by me/team I was on) Moq has been used extensively. Haven't come across anyone using anything else in the last 4/5 years within around 15-20 teams!

FWIW - my team loves Moq.

fabiogouw commented 7 years ago

@michal-ciechan , I agree with you, the places I've worked all used Moq too. But today my challenge is to persuade people who's not used to unit testing.

@natemcmaster , I gotta say your team rocks! Having ASP.NET / Microsoft's projects using Moq is great to convince my coworkers.

@fabiogouw: How did your presentation go? :-)

fabiogouw commented 7 years ago

@stakx , unfortunately my meeting has been postponed :disappointed:

As soon as I get news, I'll share them with you guys.

Thanks

stakx commented 7 years ago

@fabiogouw, I'm closing this issue for now, since you've probably prepared your presentation and have gathered the information you needed for it. Please feel free to post your success story (hopefully!) here anyway. :-)

fabiogouw commented 7 years ago

Sure, @stakx , thank you!

Roslyn and ASP.NET should be enough references, I'd say ;)

fabiogouw commented 6 years ago

Everything went well in my presentation! I appreciate the contributions given, they were very valuable.
