> h3. Description
> I noticed that there is a test class
> [CountCuratorWatcher|https://github.com/apache/curator/blob/4a11aaef8b190dc220d35b7a91df294bfa06250e/curator-framework/src/test/java/org/apache/curator/framework/imps/TestWatcherIdentity.java#L42]
> implements production interface
> [curatorWatcher|https://github.com/apache/curator/blob/4a11aaef8b190dc220d35b7a91df294bfa06250e/curator-framework/src/main/java/org/apache/curator/framework/api/CuratorWatcher.java#L27]
> to assist testing production class
> [CuratorFrameworkImpl|https://github.com/apache/curator/blob/4a11aaef8b190dc220d35b7a91df294bfa06250e/curator-framework/src/main/java/org/apache/curator/framework/imps/CuratorFrameworkImpl.java#L66].
> This might not be the best priactice in unit testing and can be improved by
> leveraging mocking frameworks.
> h3. Current Implementation
> * {{CountCuratorWatcher}} implements {{CuratorWatcher}} and creates a new
> variable to keep tracking of the method invocation status for
> {{process(WatchedEvent)}}.
> * In test cases, after executing test target, the new variable will be used
> in assertion statement to check the execution status of
> {{process(WatchedEvent)}}.
> h3. Proposed Implementation
> * Replace {{CountCuratorWatcher}} with a mocking object created by Mockito.
> * Extract the AtomicLong attribute and use the extracted attribute to check
> method invocation status.
> * Use method stub to control the behavior of the mocking object.
> h3. Motivation
> - Decouple test class `CountCuratorWatcher` from production interface
> `CuratorWatcher`.
> - Make test logic more clear by using method stub instead of method
> overriding.
