Mockito
Most popular mocking framework for Java/Kotlin, providing readable stub/verify syntax and an inline byte-code-manipulating mock-maker for final classes.
Our Verdict
The obvious default for Java mocking, with the usual caveat that over-mocking hurts design.
Pros
- De facto standard for JVM mocking
- Readable when().thenReturn() stub/verify syntax
- Inline mock-maker handles finals and statics
- Massive community, docs and Stack Overflow coverage
Cons
- Encourages over-mocking if used carelessly
- Static and final mocking can be footgun-heavy
- Kotlin ergonomics less pleasant than MockK
- Bytecode manipulation can clash with agents
When to Use Mockito
Good fit if you need
- Stub and verify Java/Kotlin service dependencies
- Inline mock-maker for mocking final classes and methods
- Argument captors for inspecting method call parameters
- Spy on real objects while stubbing specific methods
