Class A -> This is the class I want to test; It depends on class B
Class B -> This class is supposed to be mocked; Methods of this class calls methods of class C
Class C -> Singleton class

How should I test A so that tests won't invoke actual class C methods?

Please share some code. The question is a bit too general to properly answer in its current form. – Mureinik Jun 11 '18 at 21:52
Without refactoring you could use PowerMockito which allows mocking static test methods. – schneida Jun 11 '18 at 21:54
I don't think that tests should have to worry about this. Tests test functionality, they do not worry about where it comes from. – mackycheese21 Jun 11 '18 at 21:55

When class B is mocked, then you never reach class C. – Daniele Jun 11 '18 at 22:21
Oh, thank you guys. So it never reaches C – Sachin Titus Jun 11 '18 at 22:28
