Answer
Encapsulation allows mocking of data access during testing.
By encapsulating JDBC logic within a repository, you can mock data access methods during testing. This isolates tests from actual database dependencies, allowing you to test business logic in isolation. For example, in a product recommendation service, you can mock the ProductRepository to simulate different database states and validate the recommendation logic.
