Getting Started with Mockito

Writing unit tests is difficult if the dependencies between your application classes
make it difficult to draw a boundary between what you want to test and the rest of the codebase. Mockito helps you to easily create Java tests by using mock objects.

Writing unit tests is difficult if the dependencies between your application classes make it difficult to draw a boundary between what you want to test and the rest of the codebase. In this course, Getting Started with Mockito, you will gain the ability to focus on the thing you’re trying to test without having to worry about the rest of the codebase. First, you will learn how to use mock objects instead of real dependencies. Next, you will discover how to configure mocked methods, including return values and exception throwing. Finally, you will explore the concept of partial mocks and how to use them to test tricky situations. When you are finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of mocking with Mockito needed to test your Java applications by creating, configuring, and using mocks in your unit tests.
