What are the best ways to unit test java classes?

Hi,

I've gone through Sling and AEM Mocks but none of those seem helpful to test our custom java classes which has services defined by us along with resource, jcr nodes, session etc. Sling and AEM mock only test Sling and JCR apis. Is there any way to test normal java classes as well along with it? Normal Junit with mockito and powermockito requires a lot more effort and we don't want to do that.

Any good examples would be helpful.

Thanks!

Yes. It should be good enough. We've used Mockito for our code coverage.

Thank you for replying.

I’ve already gone through this document

https://docs.adobe.com/content/ddc/en/gems/From-Unit-Testing-to-Integration-Test-of-an-AEM-Application/_jcr_content/par/download/file.res/AEM%20GEMS%20-%20Testing%2012-14-2016.pdf

But AEM Mocks and AEM Context seem more likely to test content, register OSGI services and AEM components only.

My question was - if we have normal java objects (which belong to different APIs) as well along with Sling and JCR APIs in a Java class do we have to use Mockito along with it, like we do it for normal junits or AEM Mocks would be sufficient?

If we can get some examples it’d be great.
