A practical guide to get you up and running with unit testing using Mockito
This book is ideal for developers who have some experience in Java application development as well as some basic knowledge of test doubles and JUnit testing. This book also introduces you to the fundamentals of JUnit testing, test doubles, refactoring legacy code, and writing JUnit tests for GWT and web services.
Whether you are new to JUnit testing and mocking or a seasoned Mockito expert, this book will provide you with the skills you need to successfully build and maintain meaningful JUnit test cases and effectively mock external dependencies. At the beginning, this book deals with dummy and fake objects and then moves on to exploring stubs followed by an example on spying. Then, it will show you how to make legacy code testable, mock external dependencies using Mockito, and write testable code for greenfield projects. You will also gain an insight on the concepts of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) as well as understand how to unit test RESTful web services with Mockito. By sequentially working through the steps in each chapter, you will quickly learn the features of Mockito.
Mockito Essentials will ensure your success with these concepts, tools, and frameworks.
