Thanks for the detailed response. I've used mocking frameworks in Java and while they can be pretty helpful it seems like the basic functionality is pretty easy to get at, for example heavy modules like database layers could be module parameters, or functional parameters, or however you want to structure it. Surely language features and cutting-edge test frameworks can make all this stuff easier, but to me it seems like it can all be done easily with the normal ways of doing abstraction (and OCaml is pretty good at abstraction).
