## A moment of history

EasyMock has been created by Tammo Freese at OFFIS in 2001. It was originally allowing to only mock interfaces but was a providing type safe mocking. A great revolution at that time.

The so-called class extension allowing class mocking appeared in 2003. It was initially developed by Joel Shellman, Chad Woolley and Henri Tremblay on the files section of Yahoo!Groups. It was based on an idea of Bob Lee. It has been merged in the EasyMock core in 2010.

EasyMock developments are now led by Henri Tremblay. He is helped by Alistair Todd and Jérémy Buget who did the actual version of the website.
