junit4 - JUnit & EasyMock -

is possible mock class instantiated in class unit testing?

class classtotest {     public string methodtotest(object a, object b, object c) {         //do lots of cool stuff here         someotherclass someotherclass = new someotherclass();         someotherclass.domorecoolstuff(a, b, c, this);         //do more cool stuff "this" updated someotherclass } 

i want mock someotherclass used int classtotest. using easymock , can't seem compile. ideas? going wrong? thoughts?

you need way mock in there. part of testing. when find this, , "i can't test that" need refactor code can test. refactoring turn weird , strange designs beautiful art. (too deep?)

for example:

interface factory {     public someotherclass create(); }  class classtotest {     factory factory;     public void setfactory( factory factory ) { this.factory = factory }      public string methodtotest(object a, object b, object c) {         //do lots of cool stuff here         someotherclass someotherclass = factory.create();         someotherclass.domorecoolstuff(a, b, c, this);         //do more cool stuff "this" updated someotherclass } 

a test this:

public void test() {     someotherclass mock = easymock.create( someotherclass.class );     factory factory = easymock.create( factory.class );      classtotest test = new classtotest();     test.setfactory( factory );      expect(factory.create()).andreturn(mock);      // can test mock interaction      replay(mock,factory);     test.methodtotest(a,b,c);     verify(mock,factory);  } 

there many ways this. point make code testable. there have been many times find myself needing method class wrote find it's there because needed testing.
