Mockito Tutorial: Learn mocking with 25 Junit Examples - Step 15: Continued. Mocking Static Method

The video tutorial covers creating a simple unit test using Mockito and PowerMock. It explains setting up packages, mocking dependencies, and handling static methods. The tutorial demonstrates how to use PowerMock to mock static methods, initialize classes, and verify method calls. It concludes with a discussion on the importance of proper setup and verification in testing.

What is the first step in setting up a unit test for PowerMock?

• Use any existing package

• Create a test in the same package as the class under test

• Create a test in a different package

• Create a new class in any package

Why is it important to inject mocks into the system under test?

• To reduce the number of classes

• To make the code run faster

• To ensure dependencies are correctly initialized

• To avoid writing test cases

What happens if a static method is not mocked?

• The test will pass with a warning

• The test will fail with an exception

• The test will skip the method

• The test will run indefinitely

What is the role of a specific runner in PowerMock?

• To combine PowerMock and Mockito functionalities

• To execute tests faster

• To skip static methods

• To automatically generate test cases

Which method is used to prepare a class for static method mocking?

• mockStaticMethod

• initializeStatic

• prepareForTest

• setupStatic

How can you ensure a static method returns a specific value?

• By using 'when' and 'thenReturn'

• By using 'prepareForTest'

• By using 'assertEquals'

• By using 'mockStatic'

What is the purpose of the 'verifyStatic' method in PowerMock?

• To mock static methods

• To initialize static methods

• To delete static methods

• To check if a static method was called

What is a common issue when integrating PowerMock with Mockito?

• Tests run too quickly

• Tests become too simple

• Tests are automatically generated

• Initialization can be complex

What should you do if a test fails unexpectedly?

• Change the test framework

• Comment out lines to identify the issue

• Run the test multiple times

• Ignore the failure

What is the benefit of mocking static methods?

• It automatically fixes bugs

• It reduces the need for unit tests

• It allows testing of isolated components

• It makes the code more complex
