Q11. Does it make sense to verify a method call if we already have a mock for it.

For example -

Mockito.when(a.callMethod()).thenReturn(1);
verify(a.callMethod()); // Does it make sense

Mockito

Ans. There is no guarantee that the mock will get called as callMethod may never get called. Verify is to make sure that the method gets called. Mock is it return 1 if the method gets called so they both are kind of independent things.

Q14. What is doCallRealMethod() method used for ?

PowerMock

Ans. When we Mock an object and then make a reference to any method using mocked object reference , java never makes a call to that method and looks for mocked value to be returned or null if none specified. But If we want that to be overridden and want java to make actual method call upon using mocked object reference, this method can be used.
