Mocking a static or private method is often necessary when writing unit tests. However, before Mockito 3.4.0, it was impossible to explicitly mock static methods. Thus, PowerMock offers solutions to the defined use case. In this article, we will look at the introduction of PowerMock and explore examples of mocking private, static, and final methods.…
Read More A Guide to Mocking Private and Static Methods Using PowerMockIn order to simulate the behaviour of any argument of the specified type during unit testing, we can utilize Mockito argument matchers. In this tutorial, we’ll discuss an Introduction to the Mockito Argument Matchers along with some examples and the creation of a custom argument matcher. So, let’s begin! If you are not familiar with…
Read More Mockito Argument Matchers: Examples and UsageIn this tutorial, you will learn how to use @MockBean annotation in your Unit tests. @MockBean annotation is used to create and place mocks into Spring Application Contexts. If Spring Application Context does already have a bean of the same type then this bean will be replaced with a mock object. Otherwise, a new bean(mock)…

Mockito is a popular framework for creating mock objects in Java. A Spy in Mockito is a type of mock object that allows you to create a partial mock of an object by spying on an…
Read More Mockito Spy Explained: A Comprehensive GuideMockito enables partial mocking of an object, allowing us to create a mock object while still invoking a real method. To achieve this, we can use Mockito’s thenCallRealMethod() method to call a real method on a mocked object. I have also created several step-by-step video lessons that demonstrate how to test Java applications. If you…
Read More Mockito – Call a Real MethodI often find myself needing to run a single unit test for a particular project from the command line in my terminal window, rather than all of the tests. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to do just that: run a specific unit test using Maven from the command line. For video tutorials…

In this tutorial, we will look at different ways you can use @MockBean annotation to create mocks. If you are testing your application with JUnit and Mockito, then there are many other useful tutorials you will find on the Testing Java Code…
