+Mock Objects is a test-first development process for building
+object-oriented software and a generic unit testing framework that
+supports that process. Mock objects give you:
+
+* A methodology for developing and using mock objects.
+
+* A core mock objects framework. This is a library of code that supports
+ the implementation of mock objects. It is based around a set of
+ expectation classes for values and collections. There are also various
+ other classes to make mock objects easier to write or to use.
+
+* A default set of mock implementations for the standard Java platform
+ APIs. We have made a start on packages such as servlets, sql, and io.
+
+* Mock implementations for more specialised libraries, particularly
+ third party products. So far, we have started on ATG Dynamo and IBM's
+ VisualAge for Java tools API.
+
+* A community for exchanging ideas on anything related to unit testing,
+ with a bias towards Mock Objects.
+
+Our larger aim is to make www.mockobjects.com the point of reference for
+ideas and tools for unit testing particularly based on Mock Objects. Our
+first implementation is in Java, largely because that's what we've been
+working in, but also because it has a stable set of APIs that are
+suitable for writing Mock Objects. We have applied these techniques to
+other environments and intend to publish the results here.
