Mockito
1 : verify
//Let's import Mockito statically so that the code looks clearer
import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;
//mock creation
List mockedList = mock(List.class);
//using mock object
mockedList.add("one");
mockedList.clear();
//verification
verify(mockedList).add("one");
verify(mockedList).clear();
2 : Argument matchers
//stubbing using built-in anyInt() argument matcher
when(mockedList.get(anyInt())).thenReturn("element");
//stubbing using hamcrest (let's say isValid() returns your own hamcrest matcher):
when(mockedList.contains(argThat(isValid()))).thenReturn("element");
//following prints "element"
System.out.println(mockedList.get(999));
//you can also verify using an argument matcher
verify(mockedList).get(anyInt());
Argument matchers allow flexible verification or stubbing.
3 : Verifying exact number of invocations / at least x / never
//using mock
mockedList.add("once");
mockedList.add("twice");
mockedList.add("twice");
mockedList.add("three times");
mockedList.add("three times");
mockedList.add("three times");
//following two verifications work exactly the same - times(1) is used by default
verify(mockedList).add("once");
verify(mockedList, times(1)).add("once");
//exact number of invocations verification
verify(mockedList, times(2)).add("twice");
verify(mockedList, times(3)).add("three times");
//verification using never(). never() is an alias to times(0)
verify(mockedList, never()).add("never happened");
//verification using atLeast()/atMost()
verify(mockedList, atLeastOnce()).add("three times");
verify(mockedList, atLeast(2)).add("five times");
verify(mockedList, atMost(5)).add("three times");
