MockK
Mocking library for Kotlin with first-class support for coroutines, object/static mocks and DSL designed around Kotlin idioms.
Our Verdict
Clearly the right mocking library for Kotlin, worth the migration from Mockito for Kotlin-heavy code.
Pros
- Designed around Kotlin idioms from day one
- First-class coroutine and suspend function mocking
- Handles object and top-level function mocks
- Readable DSL versus Mockito-Kotlin glue
Cons
- Slower than Mockito on very large suites
- Mistakes produce cryptic stack traces
- Less Stack Overflow coverage than Mockito
- Mocking everything hides Kotlin design smells
Best for: Kotlin teams testing coroutines, sealed classes and objects
Not for: Mixed Java/Kotlin codebases where Mockito is already well embedded
When to Use MockK
Good fit if you need
- Kotlin-idiomatic mocking with coroutine test support
- Object and companion object mocking for Kotlin code
- Verify DSL with natural Kotlin syntax for call assertions
- Mock suspend functions in Kotlin coroutine test suites
