* As usual you are going to read the partial mock warning:
* Object oriented programming is more less tackling complexity by dividing the complexity into separate, specific, SRPy objects.
* How does partial mock fit into this paradigm? Well, it just doesn't...
* Partial mock usually means that the complexity has been moved to a different method on the same object.
* In most cases, this is not the way you want to design your application.
*
* However, there are rare cases when partial mocks come handy:
* dealing with code you cannot change easily (3rd party interfaces, interim refactoring of legacy code etc.)
* However, I wouldn't use partial mocks for new, test-driven & well-designed code.
*
* // someMethod() must be safe (e.g. doesn't throw, doesn't have dependencies to the object state, etc.)
* // if it isn't safe then you will have trouble stubbing it using this api. Use Mockito.doCallRealMethod() instead.
* when(mock.someMethod()).thenCallRealMethod();
*
* // calls real method:
* mock.someMethod();
*
*
* See also javadoc {@link Mockito#spy(Object)} to find out more about partial mocks.
* Mockito.spy() is a recommended way of creating partial mocks.
* The reason is it guarantees real methods are called against correctly constructed object because you're responsible for constructing the object passed to spy() method.
*
* See examples in javadoc for {@link Mockito#when}
