Mockito is a Java mocking framework that allows developers to write unit tests in a more efficient and maintainable way. It allows you to mock classes and objects, making it easier to test code that relies on external dependencies.
What is Mockito Used For?
Mockito is commonly used for dependency mocking, stubbing, and verification in unit testing. It allows you to create mock objects that mimic the behavior of real objects, enabling you to set expectations for what methods should be called and what values they should return. This helps isolate the code you're testing from its dependencies, making it easier to test individual components without worrying about their interactions with external systems.
