Unit Testing: Assertions & Assumptions in JUnit
Assertions, a collection of utility methods in in JUnit, help assert the pass or fail status of test cases. The focus of this course is on assertions that allow you to set the conditions for the success and failure of test cases and assumptions to control the flow of execution in a test case. Begin with simple assert methods to compare the actual values of fields or return values of methods with their expected values. Then, use assertions that ensure your app's performance by failing a test if it takes too long to run, followed by assert methods that check an exception is thrown when invalid data is passed to a method. Next, use assumptions that check for conditions before executing a code block - effectively serving as control structures.

Unit Testing with Mocks: Getting Started with Mockito
Mockito is a Java framework for building mocks during unit testing. When performing unit tests on an object, you often have other, complex objects that the object under test depends upon. Rather than using those complex objects, you can use Mockito to create mocks of those objects and stub their methods to simulate expected behavior. Use this course to get to grips with mocking and its relationship with unit testing. Set up a Maven project and add the required Mockito and JUnit dependencies. Create mocks of built-in classes, such as the ArrayList, and built-in interfaces, such as the Comparator. Then, work with stub methods using Mockito's when().thenReturn() syntax. When you're done, you'll be able to identify situations where using mocks is a good idea, construct mocks, stub methods in them using Mockito, and use mock objects in unit tests.

In this course, learn how to build mocks using annotations and use them to perform dependency injection into the object. Then, learn how to work with constructor, setter property, and field injection. Moving along, verify the behavior of the object under test and its interaction with the mock using Mockito constructs, such as verify(), verifyNoInteractions(), and various argument matchers.

Unit Testing with Mocks: Mocking Exceptions & Using Spies
Unlike a mock, which has no real state, and in which all behavior must be stubbed, a spy is built atop a real object of the class being mocked and has almost full functionality. Only specific methods of the spy are stubbed, which is useful if it is too complex or cumbersome to mock. Use this course to learn how to identify when spies are a better choice than mocks, how to construct spies and stub specific methods, and how to raise exceptions in stubbed methods of your mocks. Then, use different methods to check how the object under test copes with those exceptions. Moving on, learn how to stub void methods and when to make use of the doNothing().when() syntax. When you're done, you'll be able to correctly use spies, mock exceptions and test their handling, mock void methods, and use argument captors.
