Re: Using Mockito with Netbeans
Brother, you're working for the wrong company. Adding fake/senseless tests decreases the quality of the software. As a developer you are not allowed to do that. Testing the data layer against the database is the right thing to do here and you can do it in an integration test and also use JUnit for that. Then you can add the coverage produced by the integration tests to the coverage from the unit tests. As for the database, if you have a containerized application then it is easy to just use the database container you have anyway. Alternatively you could fire up an in-process in-memory database like H2 and run your integration tests against that.

Re: Using Mockito with Netbeans
I can't help with Mockito, except to say that I use it with Netbeans all
the time. I write the tests mostly from scratch. I'm not sure what
Netbeans could automate beyond creating template test methods as it does
now.
One tip I can share, that I discovered by accident, is that Netbeans can
show code coverage. I think the option is hidden if you don't have
coverage enabled. We're using jacoco with maven. It will display a
coverage report for the project and colorize your source files showing
which lines are covered and not.
Also, testcontainers is pretty cool for database integration testing.

>>mocking database operations
Do you mean that you need to mock CRUD in a unit test?
If you create mock data in the test, you control the mock data
which means you're testing a hard coded value or testing for null
and the database is never used.
Is that valuable?
Suppose you unit test pinging the database, as in select something
and it fails because the database is down, or today no permissions
were granted to your test account or your test user password
expired... now what. The unit test says something is broken but
it may not be in your control.
