Mocking HTTP Interaction with Java, JUnit and MockServer

Tue, 05 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0100

When writing tests for our software components sometimes we need to mock external services based on the HTTP protocol, might it be a RESTful web-service, an XML-RPC call or a simple GET request to some web-server.

In the following short tutorial I’d like to demonstrate how to create a mock HTTP server for testing and how to bootstrap and bind it to the life-cycle of a classical build-management tool like Maven.

Today we’re going to take a look at the Mockito framework that not only does sound like my favourite summer cocktail but also offers nice testing, mocking/stubbing, test-spying features and mock injections.

After that we’re going to take a look on how to mock static or final classes by extending Mockito’s capabilities with PowerMock.

Prerequisites

We don’t need much for the following samples .. Java of course, Maven dependency management and that’s all ..
