Answer
Mockito isolates code from external dependencies by creating mock objects.
Mockito allows you to create mock objects for dependencies, such as a PaymentGateway, to ensure that your tests only focus on the logic within the class you're testing. This isolation prevents flaky tests caused by external API changes or downtime. For example, if you're testing a method that processes payments, you can mock the payment processor to always return a successful transaction, ensuring your test is fast and reliable.
