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.

Yes, I do need to mock CRUD operations without accessing the database.
As I said, code was debugged and tested with the database, but to
comply with the company policy
I do need to add these "fake" unit tests. I haven't used Mockito for
about 10 years and don't want to spend much time
to refresh my knowledge. I do hope that NB have some mocking features
that will help me.

Right now, I have it less than 30%, because this is database driven
project and to comply, I need to create
tests mocking database operations.
>>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.

generated tests from existing classes sounds like testing after the
fact.
Then I would consider generating the DAOs from information
available, like the database schema or the DTO classes which should
be of the record type.
but if you still insist, make the DAO tests inherit from a TestBase
class that configures the mocked data source.
If the DAO accepts the data source or a connection as dependency in
the injection sense, you are good to go and can verify the proper
use of the dependency by the DAO, which is the purpose of mocking.
I may find some time tomorrow to come up with a more elaborate answer.
Kind regards,
Pieter van den Hombergh.

I am quite used to generate unit tests for my code using
Netbeans Tools->Create/Update Tests. JUnit is great.
However, now I need to create tests for some DAO classes where I
will need to mock database access.
I plan to use Mockito for that. Does Netbeans have any features
automating Mockito test creation?
