i am required to use mockito to create unit testing framework for existing code. I am unable to find a good place to get started with learning Mockito. Could you please point me to a good learning resource for mockito? (online resource or otherwise)

JUnit and Mockito can be primarily classified as "Testing Frameworks" tools. JUnit and Mockito are both open source tools. It seems that Mockito with 9.02K GitHub stars and 1.62K forks on GitHub has more adoption than JUnit with 7.53K GitHub stars and 2.8K GitHub forks.
The mocking technique is not only used in Java but also used in any object-oriented programming language. There are many frameworks available in Java for mocking, but Mockito is the most popular framework among them. To mock objects, you need to understand the three key concepts of mocking, i.e., stub, fake, and mock.
Mockito has been around since the early days of Android development and eventually became the de-facto mocking library for writing unit tests. Mockito and Mockk are written in Java and Kotlin, respectively, and since Kotlin and Java are interoperable, they can exist within the same project.
In the "Help me to start" thread on the mockito discussion group on Google, Szczepan Faber, the project owner of mockito, suggests:
I'd take a look at the posts in the mockito category of Szczepan's blog too.
