/**
 * Configures the "strictness" of Mockito, affecting the behavior of stubbings and verification.
 * "Strict stubbing" is a new feature in Mockito 2 that drives cleaner tests and better productivity.
 * The easiest way to leverage it is via Mockito's JUnit support ({@link MockitoJUnit}) or Mockito Session ({@link MockitoSession}).
 * 
 * How strictness influences the behavior of the test?
 * 

 *     {@link Strictness#STRICT_STUBS} - ensures clean tests, reduces test code duplication, improves debuggability.
 *       Best combination of flexibility and productivity. Highly recommended.
 *       Planned as default for Mockito v4.
 *       Enable it via {@link MockitoRule}, {@link MockitoJUnitRunner} or {@link MockitoSession}.
 *       See {@link #STRICT_STUBS} for the details.
 *     {@link Strictness#LENIENT} - no added behavior.
 *       The default of Mockito 1.x.
 *       Recommended only if you cannot use {@link #STRICT_STUBS}
 *     {@link Strictness#WARN} - cleaner tests but only if you read the console output.
 *       Reports console warnings about unused stubs
 *       and stubbing argument mismatch (see {@link org.mockito.quality.MockitoHint}).
 *       The default behavior of Mockito 2.x when {@link JUnitRule} or {@link MockitoJUnitRunner} are used.
 *       Recommended if you cannot use {@link #STRICT_STUBS}.
 *       Introduced originally with Mockito 2 because console warnings was the only compatible way of adding such feature.
 * 
 *
 * @since 2.3.0

     * Adds following behavior:
     *  

     *      Improved productivity: the test fails early when code under test invokes
     *          stubbed method with different arguments (see {@link PotentialStubbingProblem}).
     *      Cleaner tests without unnecessary stubbings:
     *          the test fails when unused stubs are present (see {@link UnnecessaryStubbingException}).
     *      Cleaner, more DRY tests ("Don't Repeat Yourself"):
     *          If you use {@link org.mockito.Mockito#verifyNoMoreInteractions(Object...)}
     *          you no longer need to explicitly verify stubbed invocations.
     *          They are automatically verified for you.
