In this course, you will learn how to write a unit test for Java applications using JUnit. You'll start by covering unit-testing foundations, which provide you with a starter set of information about writing basic tests in JUnit. You’ll learn about JUnit organization and assertions, and you’ll pick up a few core quality practices for unit testing such as the Right BICEP and the CORRECT way. 

Towards the end, the bigger design picture focuses on the relevance of design to unit testing and vice versa. You’ll refactor your tests, and you’ll learn how to use mock objects to deal with trouble-some dependencies.

Pragmatic Unit Testing in Java 8 with JUnit

# Best scenario
In the best case, we end up with a single-line arranged a portion of our test that creates an expectation using Mockito’s `when(...).then(...)` construction. We have a single-line act and a single assert. These are tests we can quickly read, understand, and trust.
> Tests using mocks should clearly state "what’s going on". 

# Correlation
Tests using mocks should clearly state what is going on. One way we do this is by correlation. In `answersAppropriateAddressForValidCoordinates`, it’s clear that the expected parameter string of `lat=38.000000&lon=-104.000000` correlates to the act arguments of `38.0` and `-104.0`. Things obviously aren’t always this easy, but the more we can help the test reader make that connection without digging through other code, the better our tests will be.

Don’t forget that mocks replace real behavior. We want to ask ourselves  a few questions to make sure we’re using them properly.

Learn the right way to use mock in your tests.
