Regarding C++ google unit test framework for socket communication

[Amit Kulkarni]

Hi 

I am using google unit test framework (googletest-master\googletest) for executing unit test for my C++ code.

My C++ code internally communicate with another process using socket programming. 

Can I use googletest to do unit testing for a code which internally calls socket api's and expects some output asynchronously?

If yes how to achieve this?

Thanks

Amit

I usually do this with googlemock. Essentially, I make some wrapper class around the network interface, then mock it out with gmock. If you're not familiar, it's a great tool that allows you to test if a class's functions are called, and to provide injectable results that bypass the normal class's actual function (ie, you can make it act as if some network socket read a string into some buffer)
