It's Mockito [1], which has been a standard for a while. There are other libraries and they use different strategies to provide this kind of functionalities (dynamic proxies, bytecode weaving, annotation processing, etc...).

And ... is the whole user being mocked or just the method?

It creates a stub, but you can also configure it to pass any method calls to original implementation. You should be tiping your hat i think.

User mock = mock(User.java)

Should have been

User mock = mock(User.class)

Ah oops, I've been writing exclusively Kotlin for several years, my Java is becoming rusty (no pun intended).
