What happens when we mock a class?

A mock replaces that dependency. You set expectations on calls to the dependent object, set the exact return values it should give you to perform the test you want, and/or what exceptions to throw so that you can test your exception handling code. In this way you can test the unit in question easily.

How do mocks work?

A object that you want to test may have dependencies on other complex objects. To isolate the behavior of the object you want to test you replace the other objects by mocks that simulate the behavior of the real objects. So in simple words, mocking is creating objects that simulate the behavior of real objects.

What are mocks in school?

Mocks also “force students to start revision notes; indicate where pupils are towards their target grades and allow students to make mistakes under exam conditions so that they learn not to make the same errors in the real thing,” says Matthew Christmas.

Is Mockito thread safe?

Yes, they are. Quoting mockito documentation. (…) you can let multiple threads call methods on a shared mock to test in concurrent conditions.

What are the limitations of Mockito?

Some limitations of the mockito are,

  • It cannot mock constructors or static methods.
  • It requires Java version 6 plus to run.
  • It also cannot mock equals(), hashCode() methods.
  • VM mocking is only possible on VMs that are supported by Objenesis.

How does Mockito verify?

Verify in Mockito simply means that you want to check if a certain method of a mock object has been called by specific number of times. When doing verification that a method was called exactly once, then we use: verify(mockObject).

What is stubbing in Mockito?

More specifically: A stub is a fake class that comes with preprogrammed return values. It’s injected into the class under test to give you absolute control over what’s being tested as input. A mock is a fake class that can be examined after the test is finished for its interactions with the class under test.

How does Mockito spy work?

A Mockito spy is a partial mock. We can mock a part of the object by stubbing few methods, while real method invocations will be used for the other. By saying so, we can conclude that calling a method on a spy will invoke the actual method, unless we explicitly stub the method, and therefore the term partial mock.

What is difference between mock and spy?

The difference is that in mock, you are creating a complete mock or fake object while in spy, there is the real object and you just spying or stubbing specific methods of it. When using mock objects, the default behavior of the method when not stub is do nothing.
