In Java, you use the enumeration type to represent a list of predefined constants. But, what if you want to implement a Set interface with the enumeration type, you have got EnumSet in Java to do so. Enum constants are unique and have predefined length, as you can not define a new enum constant at […]Continue reading
There are read-only wrappers over collections which are known as unmodifiable lists. These lists do not support any modification operations such as add, remove, and clear. Hence, these kinds of lists which guarantee that no change in the Collection object will ever be visible are termed as immutablelist. The Java Collections framework provides the unmodifiableList() […]Continue reading

We can write JUnit 5 parameterized tests just like regular JUnit 5 tests but have to use the @ParameterizedTest annotation instead. In a parameterized test, you […]Continue reading
MapStruct and Project Lombok are two tools which can make your life as a developer much easier. MapStruct is a slick project which generates type mappers via simple interfaces. You define an interface method to accept a source type with a return type. And MapStruct generates the implementation of the mapper. Project Lombok is a […]Continue reading
ArgumentCaptor in Mockito allows you to capture arguments passed to methods for further assertions. You can apply standard JUnit assertion methods, such as assertEquals(), assertThat(), and so on, to perform assertions on the captured arguments. In Mockito, you will find the ArgumentCaptor class in the org. mockito package If you are new to mocking with […]Continue reading
