HowtoMockinMockito

@MockBookDaomockedBookDao

BookDaomockedBookDao=mock(BookDao.class);

ThiswillmockallmethodsinBookDaoclassandprovide
defaultvalues.

Initializeannotatedmocks...

AnnotateJunitTestclasswith:
@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)

OR

Addlinebelowtosetupmethod:
MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);

Stubbing

StubbingisaddingcannedresponsetoMockobjectmethods.

Examples:

1) when(list.get(0)).thenReturn('Hello');
2) when(mockedMap.get(key).thenReturn(someValue);
3) doThrow(newIllegalStateException(Illegal).when(dao).get(1L);

Verifybehavior

Verifyhelpsverifythatcertainmethodswerecalledn
timesorwerenevercalled.
Example:
1)Defaultis1.
2)times(n)

Verifybehavior(cont'd)
1) atLeastOnce()
2) atLeast(n)
3) atMost(n))
4) verifyZeroInteractions(mock1,mock2,...);

Verifybehavior(cont'd)

verifyZeroInteractions(mockTwo,mockThree);

StubbingExceptions

when(mockedDao.get(1).thenThrow(new
RunTimeException());
doThrow(new
IllegalStateException(Illegal).when(mockDao).remove
(1);
