Mockito Tutorial

Mockito is a popular Java testing library used for unit testing. It allows developers to create mock objects and define their behaviors. Mock objects simulate the behavior of real services by returning dummy data for given inputs.

Mockito helps you test your code without needing the actual implementation of its dependencies. This makes unit testing faster and simpler. Mockito uses Java Reflection to create mock objects for a given interface, acting as proxies for actual implementations.

Benefits of Mockito

  • No Handwriting: No need to manually write mock objects.
  • Refactoring Safe: Tests remain stable even if you rename interface methods or reorder parameters, as mocks are created at runtime.
  • Return Value Support: Easily specify return values for mock methods.
  • Exception Support: Allows you to simulate exceptions in mock methods.
  • Order Check Support: Verify the order in which methods are called.
  • Annotation Support: Create mocks using annotations for cleaner and more readable test code.

This tutorial is for Java developers of all levels who want to improve the quality of their software through unit testing and test-driven development.
