I'm very familiar with Mock Objects (http://abstractadonet.sourceforge.net/mock.html). My question was really a request for comments. I was wondering HOW people are approaching the problem. As you state, there are no IMessageQueue or IMessage interfaces. So you either spend a lot of time writing wrapper objects that use interfaces or you have to try to test by isolating the physical aspects (i.e. queues) to be exactly what you want.
