What is Moq?
It is a mocking library for .NET developed from scratch to take full advantage of .NET Linq expression trees and lambda expressions, which makes it the most productive, type-safe and refactoring-friendly mocking library available. And it supports mocking interfaces as well as classes.
Moq is a tool in the Testing Frameworks category of a tech stack.
Moq is an open source tool with GitHub stars and GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Moq's open source repository on GitHub

Decisions about Moq
Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose Moq in their tech stack.
Edinei Cavalcanti
I used in some project the NSubstitute intead of Moq because NSubstitute it's better clean code, example:
Moq like this:
// Arrange
ICalculator lovable = Mock.Of<ICalculator>(calculator => calculator.Add(1, 2) == 3);
// Act
var result = calculator.Add(1, 2);
// Assert
Assert.AreEqual(3, result);
NSubstitute like this:
// Arrange
var calculator = Substitute.For<ICalculator>().Add(1, 2).Returns(3);
// Act
var result = calculator.Add(1, 2);
// Assert
Assert.AreEqual(3, result);
Moq's Features
- Strong-typed
- Intuitive support for out/ref arguments
- Intercept and raise events on mocks
- Pass constructor arguments for mocked classes
- Mock both interfaces and classes
