Java Series Part 5 – JVM, JRE and ByteCode

JVM, JRE and JDK JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an abstract machine. It is called a virtual machine because it doesn't physically exist. It is a specification that provides a runtime environment in which Java bytecode can be executed. It can also run those programs which are written in other languages and compiled to Java … Continue reading Java Series Part 5 – JVM, JRE and ByteCode →

Java Series Part 4 – Strings & String Concatenation

Strings are used for storing text. A String variable contains a collection of characters surrounded by double quotes: String greeting = "Hello"; A String in Java is actually an object, which contain methods that can perform certain operations on strings. For example, the length of a string can be found with the length() method: String txt = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; System.out.println("The … Continue reading Java Series Part 4 – Strings & String Concatenation →

Mockito 101 – Unit Testing in Java Apps

Mockito is an open source framework that allows you to easily create mocks (test doubles). Mocks are objects that have return values to method executions made during the test and has recorded expectations of these executions. Mocks can also throw an exception if they receive a call they don’t expect. They are checked during verification to ensure … Continue reading Mockito 101 – Unit Testing in Java Apps →
