JMockit is a Java toolkit for automated developer testing. It contains APIs for the creation of the objects to be tested, for mocking dependencies, and for faking external APIs; JUnit (4 & 5) and TestNG test runners are supported. It also contains an advanced code coverage tool.

There is a newer version: 1.49

/**
 * Provides the classes and annotations used when writing tests with the JMockit APIs.
 * 
 * The {@linkplain mockit.Tested @Tested} annotation allows for the instantiation of classes under test, with the
 * injection and/or recursive instantiation of dependencies.
 * It can inject mocked instances when used in combination with the {@linkplain mockit.Injectable @Injectable} mocking
 * annotation, and also inject non-mocked (real) instances when applied as
 * {@code @Tested(fullyInitialized = true)}.
 * Non-mocked instances are either automatically created or obtained from other {@code @Tested} fields.
 * 

 * The {@link mockit.Expectations} class provides an API for the record-replay model of recording expected
 * invocations which are later replayed and implicitly verified.
 * This API makes use of the {@linkplain mockit.Mocked @Mocked}, {@linkplain mockit.Injectable @Injectable}, and
 * {@linkplain mockit.Capturing @Capturing} mocking annotations.
 * The {@link mockit.Verifications} class extends the record-replay model to a record-replay-verify model,
 * where expectations that were not recorded can be verified explicitly after exercising the code under test
 * (ie, after the replay phase).
 * The {@link mockit.Invocation} class and the {@link mockit.Delegate} interface are also part of this API; they can be
 * used for recording expectations with custom results, and for the implementation of custom argument matchers.
 * 

 * {@linkplain mockit.MockUp MockUp<T>} is a generic base class (where {@code T} is the type to be
 * faked) which allows the definition of fake implementations for external classes or interfaces.
 * Methods in a fake class that take the place of the "real" methods in class {@code T} are indicated with the
 * {@linkplain mockit.Mock @Mock} annotation.
 * Such methods can also (optionally) have an {@link mockit.Invocation} parameter.
 * 

 * Finally, the {@link mockit.Deencapsulation} class provides a few Reflection-based utility methods, for the rare cases
 * where a {@code private} field needs to be accessed.
 * 
 * For a description with examples of the Mocking API, see the
 * "Mocking" chapter in the Tutorial.
 * For the Faking API, see the "Faking"
 * chapter.
