Create mocks with mockito
June 25th, 2010
This is a small summarization what the differences are between the different variations creating mocks with mockito.
Null values (default)
Per default, after creating a mock, every method will return null. Just create your mock with:
Sample sample = Mockito.mock(ISample.class);
I think, this is very useful and straight forward. (And based by mockito developers idea, to create very fast a mock for testing). Sometimes it is very difficult to determine an error which was produced through such a null value. For this case it is very practicable to tell mockito, returning SmartNullValues.
