Description

This is a focused guide with lots of practical recipes with presentations of business issues and presentation of the whole test of the system. This book shows the use of Mockito's popular unit testing frameworks such as JUnit, PowerMock, TestNG, and so on. If you are a software developer with no testing experience (especially with Mockito) and you want to start using Mockito in the most efficient way then this book is for you. This book assumes that you have a good knowledge level and understanding of Java-based unit testing frameworks.

What you will learn

Create beautiful tests using Mockito
Create mocks and spies in a number of ways
Implement best practices to perform tests with Mockito
Extend Mockito with other popular Javabased unit testing frameworks such as JUnit and PowerMock
Stub behavior of mocks and spies
Verify test doubles with Mockito
Write good tests using Mockito
Integrate Mockito with DI systems
Compare Mockito to other mocking frameworks
Verify the behavior of your system under test

Very good. This is a well written and very interesting reading for everybody involved in Java testing.This book is not intended to be a primer on testing in general and on Mockito in particular. Beginners should look for an introduction on automated testing before start with Mockito Cookbook.The author covers everything related to the Mockito library and also on several additional libraries and tools connected to Mockito, like, for example, PowerMock.The book starts with an introductive chapter on Mockito installation and basic usage with both JUnit and TestNG.The core of the book is the chapters from 2 to 7 where the author explain, as recipes, several techniques to test easy and difficult to test code.Final book chapters are on legacy code testing, testing using frameworks like Spring and Mockito compared to other mocking libraries.In all examples, sometimes a bit repetitive due to the recipes approach, the author also explain general testing and object oriented programming approaches and methodologies. This is of course limited in space but there are plenty of references.

This book introduces the reader to the world of mocks and spies, and explains stubbing in great detail. Whilst this is a cookbook, it also contains quite useful guidelines on development paradigms and describes how Mockito implements the different mocking/stubbing mechanisms.I believe the recipes cover essentially all the viable use-cases for stubbing methods - even if those sometimes require additional libraries such as PowerMock. When going through the recipes, they may seem a bit repetitive, however the examples are always quite similar, making it very easy to find what is needed. Each recipe has a "How it Works" and most has a "There's more" section to allow the reader to acquire more information on the current subject. There can be found quite a few external references in the book, should the reader want to go into even more details.The examples are mainly written using JUnit, but TestNG is also covered.Personally I would recommend buying this book, it is certainly a good source of knowledge about mocking.

“Mockito Cookbook” is a useful book, by means of which, you can discover Mockito testing framework and start using it in the matter of days.It starts with the short introduction of the test doubles, set up of Mockito for JUnit and TestNG, and a very basic example of using it. The first chapter of the book also gives concise recommendations on using Mockito.Further the book focuses on the creation of different types of test doubles (stubs, mocks, spies) and their behavior. Each chapter gives examples, using standard Mockito API and BDD Mockito API. The section ends with the description of verification of test doubles and their behavior.Final chapters are dedicated to the integration testing with Mockito and Spring framework and comparison of mocking libraries: Mockito, JMockit, JMock, and Spock.In general, I have a very positive impression after reading the book. I was a complete newbie in Mockito before starting reading it. Of course, it didn’t make me an expert in a week; however, I started understanding BDD code and Mockito API much better. It is much easier for me now to understand test cases, which are written by my colleagues.Unfortunately, I have to note that the author repeats certain phrases from chapter to chapter. That space could have been used for a bit deeper explanation of best practices or theoretical aspects (even if it is a cookbook).Nevertheless, if you are a newbie in BDD, TDD, and Mockito and you want to become quickly up to speed with the framework, this book is the right choice.

This is a nice book but it tries to cover Breadth instead of Depth.I bought this book in an assumption that different testing scenarios would be covered but this wasn't the case. While the book is good in covering a large number of testing framework integration but it doesn't cover the depth of test cases. Also, I though the explanations were not quite well as they assumed too much knowledge from the point of the reader.Still a good read.
