Mocking dependencies for effective testing
In this section, we’ll explore how to mock dependencies in Flutter using mockito. Mocking is a technique that’s used to simulate the behavior of real objects in a controlled way. As mentioned previously, this allows us to isolate and test specific parts of our app without having to rely on actual implementations. Mocking is especially useful for testing components that depend on external services or complex interactions.
By the end of this section, you’ll be able to use mockito to mock services and repositories, enabling you to test your app’s components in isolation. This will improve the reliability and maintainability of your tests.
Please check out the mockito_example folder in this book’s GitHub repository. There, you will find the mockito way of implementing the dependencies.
