Mockito Basics and BDDMockito Class

The document discusses writing JUnit tests using a behavior-driven development (BDD) style with BDDMockito. BDD encourages writing tests in a natural, human-readable language that focuses on behavior. BDD tests follow an arrange-act-assert structure, given some preconditions, when an action occurs, then verify the output. BDDMockito introduces BDD-friendly APIs for mocking dependencies with a given-when-then structure in tests. It allows mocking with a more BDD friendly approach using given().willReturn() compared to traditional when(obj).thenReturn() mocking in Mockito.

Develop JUnit Tests in BDD

Style using BBDMockito class


By Ramesh Fadatare (Java Guides)
Behavior-Driven development (BDD
BDD encourages writing tests in a natural, human-readable language
that focuses on the behavior of the application.

We write Unit Tests using a Behavior-Driven Development style (BDD)


to increase the test readability (a lot).

It de nes a clearly structured way of writing tests following three


sections (Arrange, Act, Assert)
• given some preconditions (Arrange)
• when an action occurs (Act)
• then verify the output (Assert)

Mocking Dependencies using Mockit


Mockito mock() method - We can use Mockito class mock() method to
create a mock object of a given class or interface. This is the simplest
way to mock an object

Mockito @Mock Annotation - We can mock an object using @Mock


annotation too. It’s useful when we want to use the mocked object at
multiple places because we avoid calling mock() method multiple times.
The code becomes more readable and we can specify mock object name
that will be useful in case of errors
.

Mockito @InjectMocks Annotatio


When we want to inject a mocked object into another mocked object, we
can use @InjectMocks annotation. @InjectMock creates the mock object
of the class and injects the mocks that are marked with the annotations
@Mock into it
.

BDDMockito Class
The Mockito library is shipped with a BDDMockito class which
introduces BDD-friendly APIs.
Example: BDD style writing tests uses //given //when //then comments
Mockito vs. BDDMockito
The traditional mocking in Mockito is performed using
when(obj).thenReturn() in the Arrange step.

This BDDMockito allows us to take a more BDD friendly approach


arranging our tests using given().willReturn().
Steps to use BDDMockito API
1. Add static import statemen

2. Use given().willReturn() method
