Dave Astels has posted up SmallMock - Mock Objects for Smalltalk for download. There are versions for VW, VA, and Squeak on the site. The short description:

SmallMock is an open-source tool for creating Mock Objects in Smalltalk quickly and easily. It is similar in approach to EasyMock for Java, and comes in three flavors: VisualWorks 7.1, Squeak 3.4, and VisualAge 5.0. Mock Objects are especially useful for testing resources whose states are hard to control, or to which access is hard to get. Mock Objects take the place of real objects for the purposes of testing some functionality that interacts with and is dependent on the real objects. There is a site dedicated to the concept: www.mockobjects.com.

This is what Dave was going to talk about at StS 2004, but he had to cancel at the last minute. Check it out and see what it's all about
