About Mockito
Mockito is a mocking framework for Java unit tests. It lets you create test doubles and check how your code calls them, using a clean and simple API.
What it does
You create mock objects, set the values they should return, and then verify that certain methods were called. The tests are easy to read, and the verification errors are clear when something goes wrong. Mockito is available from the Maven Central repository for Maven, Gradle and other build systems, and the documentation for each version is hosted on javadoc.io.
