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.
