EasyMock

EasyMock is a Java library for creating mock objects in unit testing, allowing developers to simulate dependencies and verify interactions in a test-driven development (TDD) environment. It provides a simple API to define expected behaviors and check method calls, helping isolate code under test from external systems like databases or web services.

Also known as: Easy Mock, EasyMock Framework, EasyMock Java, EMock, EasyMocking

Why learn EasyMock?

Developers should use EasyMock when writing unit tests in Java to mock complex dependencies, such as database connections or third-party APIs, ensuring tests run quickly and reliably without external interference. It is particularly useful in TDD or behavior-driven development (BDD) workflows to validate interactions and improve code quality by focusing on isolated logic.
