How to mock new variable of a class

[Jitu]

I want to test class A ..how to write JUnit for this ..


Class A{


B b = new B(); //Variable of class A

public String method(parameter) //method of class A
{
String str = b.method2();
return str;

}

}

Instead of newing up B in your class, either inject it, or a factory. An IOC approach like this doesn't only make testing simpler - I find it makes complex systems with many components easier to work with.

The class A as such is not testable. That's because, the collaborator B is created with the new operator.

Instead if the creation is done somewhere else, and the dependency was injected, then the class would be testable.

Here's how it might look

I find this blog http://misko.hevery.com/ to be extremely useful to understand 'testability'.

HTH,

Good hints. Generally, first read about dependency injection then you'll immediately understand what the mocks are for :)
