Overview of this book

This is a focused guide with lots of practical recipes with presentations of business issues and presentation of the whole test of the system. This book shows the use of Mockito's popular unit testing frameworks such as JUnit, PowerMock, TestNG, and so on. If you are a software developer with no testing experience (especially with Mockito) and you want to start using Mockito in the most efficient way then this book is for you. This book assumes that you have a good knowledge level and understanding of Java-based unit testing frameworks.

Injecting test doubles instead of beans using Spring's XML configuration


In the following recipe, we will replace an existing bean with a test double using Spring's XML configuration.

Getting ready

Let's assume that our system under test is the tax transferring system for a given person, as shown in the following code:

public class TaxTransferer {

    private final TaxService taxService;

    public TaxTransferer(TaxService taxService) {
        this.taxService = taxService;
    }

    public boolean transferTaxFor(Person person) {
        if (person == null) {
            return false;
        }
        taxService.transferTaxFor(person);
        return true;
    }

}

As shown in the previous example, TaxService is a class that will perform a web service call. For readability purposes, we are simulating that we have such data exchanged as follows:

class TaxService {

    public void transferTaxFor(Person person) {
        System.out.printf("Calling external web service for person with name ...
