Answer
Forgetting to reset mocks between tests. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Failing to reset mocks can lead to test interference, where leftover state from one test affects another. Using Mockito, ensure mocks are reset to avoid false positives/negatives. For example, resetting mock objects in an e-commerce app prevents tests from depending on previous test states.
