Optionally, we use [`mock.Mock`](https://github.com/stretchr/testify#mock-package) package to write mocks. This is
useful when you expect different behaviours of the same function.
#### Tips
- Use `Once()` or `Times(n)` to make this mock only works `n` times.
- Use `mockedClass.AssertExpectations(t)` to guarantee that the mock is called the times asked.
- If any mock set is not called or its expects more calls, the test fails.
- Use `Once()` or `Times(n)` to make a method call work `n` times.
- Use `mockedClass.AssertExpectations(t)` to guarantee that methods are called the times asked.
- If any method is not called the expected amount of times, the test fails.
- You can pass `mock.Anything` as argument if you don't care about the argument passed.
- Use `mockedClass.AssertNotCalled(t, "FunctionName")` to assert that this test is not called.
- Use `mockedClass.AssertNotCalled(t, "MethodName")` to assert that a method was not called.
#### Example
This is an example to easily create a mock of an interface.
Given this interface:
```go
func MyInterface interface {
type MyInterface interface {
Get(ctx context.Context, id string) (Object, error)
}
```
