Unit testing is an integral part of modern software development. For years, Moq has been a popular choice in the .NET ecosystem for creating mock objects. Recent concerns over Moq’s SponsorLink feature have prompted some developers to consider such a switch. In this article, we delve into why you might consider NSubstitute over Moq and how to make the transition. 

For now, Microsoft's .NET Core milestones page shows .NET 5.0 about 53 percent complete, with 1,066 issues open and 1,216 issues closed.
