Application developers may want to test their code with simulated responses, including errors, from an object of type FirewallsClient. To do so, construct an object of type FirewallsClient with an instance of this class. Then use the Google Test framework functions to program the behavior of this mock.

This function is implemented using gMock's MOCK_METHOD().
