What is it all about?

Mockito is an open source testing framework for Java released under the MIT License. The framework allows the creation of test double objects (mock objects) in automated unit tests for the purpose of Test-driven Development (TDD) or Behavior Driven Development (BDD).

Key Features

* Mockito distinguishes itself from other mocking frameworks by allowing developers to verify the behavior of the system under test (SUT) without establishing expectations beforehand. * One of the criticisms of mock objects is that there is a tight coupling of the test code to the system under test. * Since Mockito attempts to eliminate the expect-run-verify pattern by removing the specification of expectations, the coupling is reduced or minimized. * The result of this distinguishing feature is simpler test code that should be easier to read and modify. Mockito also provides some annotations useful for reducing boilerplate code.
