Interface ArgMatcher

All Known Implementing Classes:

AlwaysMatcher, EqualsMatcher

public interface ArgMatcher

An ArgMatcher allows different rules to be set for matching arguments to mock methods. Each implementation of ArgMatcher will define a specific rule for matching of an argument.

Several common implementations of ArgMatchers are provided with VirtualMock, and users can create their own custom implementations to define their own custom matching rules.
