What is Mockery?

Mockery is a tool that generates mock implementations of interfaces. Please do keep in mind that the interfaces need to be present, to be able to be mocked. Mockery heavily relies on interfaces to substitute real implementations with mocks. It enhances modularity, enables test isolation and facilitates dynamic behavior replacement during testing. We will understand more on this with the example mentioned later.
