[FIXED] How to write JUnit test cases with ignoring database activities

Issue

The following is my test class

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("/ds-context.xml")
@WebAppConfiguration
public class PaidListTest {

    @Autowired
    PaymentService paymentService;

    @Test
    public void getPaidList() {
        List<PaymentGetServiceDO> response = null;
        try {
            response = paymentService.setPaidStatusList();          
            if(response != null && response.size() > 0){
                for(int i = 0; i < response.size(); i++){
                    assertNotNull(response.get(i).getAgentcode());
                }
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

In the DAO layer of the service call paymentService.setPaidStatusList() have some operations with database activities of save and update, like em.merge(renewalPoliciesDO);
But I don't want to execute them while calling the test method, they needs to get called only when actual business logic is called.
How can I restrict or rollback the database transactions here?
The service and DAO methods are tedious here. However, I have simplified them for your reference.
Service method if(!updateList.isEmpty()){ HashMap<String,String> recordset = new HashMap<String,String>(); recordset = paymentDAO.setRenewalStatus(updateList); }
DAO implementation

if(paymentUpdateResDO.getPaymentstatus().equalsIgnoreCase("MANUAL") && 
!responseUpdateStatus.getPolicystatusid().equals(renewedStatusId)){
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = em.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Integer> payQuery = criteriaBuilder.createQuery(Integer.class);
Root<PaymentStatusDO> payRoot = payQuery.from(PaymentStatusDO.class);
payQuery.multiselect(payRoot.get("paymentstatusid"));
payQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.equal(payRoot.get("paymentstatusdescription"), "Manual"));
Integer paymentStatusId = em.createQuery(payQuery).getSingleResult();
insertOldPolicy(responseUpdateStatus);
responseUpdateStatus.setNewpolicyno(paymentUpdateResDO.getNewpolicyno());
responseUpdateStatus.setPreviousstatusid(responseUpdateStatus.getPolicystatusid());
responseUpdateStatus.setPolicystatusid(renewedStatusId);
Timestamp modifiedDate = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
responseUpdateStatus.setModifieddatetime(modifiedDate);
responseUpdateStatus.setModifiedby("RPA");
responseUpdateStatus.setPaymentstatusid(paymentStatusId);
responseUpdateStatus.setActiveindicator("Y");
em.merge(responseUpdateStatus);
successRecords++;
}

In my case, I need the result arraylists, but the em.merge and em.persist activities need to be ignored.

When I try with MockitoJUnitRunner as @GauravRai1512 preferred, I get my testcase executed but the program is terminated so that I am unable to get the result ArrayLists.

Solution

You should follow below approach as suggested by Pooja Aggarwal.

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.Mockito;
import org.mockito.junit.MockitoJUnitRunner;

    @RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
    public class PaidListTest {

        @Mock
        PaymentService paymentService;

        @Before
          public void setUp() {
             MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
             mapperObj = new ObjectMapper();
             List<PaymentGetServiceDO> response = new ArrayList<PaymentGetServiceDO>();
}
        @Test
        public void getPaidList() {
            List<PaymentGetServiceDO> response = null;
            try {
                response = paymentService.setPaidStatusList();          
                if(response != null && response.size() > 0){
                    for(int i = 0; i < response.size(); i++){
                        assertNotNull(response.get(i).getAgentcode());
                    }
                }

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

This code will not execute your save and update operation.
