`Object[]`	`getConstructorArgs()`	Used when arguments should be passed to the mocked object's constructor, regardless of whether these arguments are supplied directly, or whether they include the outer instance.
`Answer<?>`	`getDefaultAnswer()`	the default answer for this mock, see `MockSettings.defaultAnswer(org.mockito.stubbing.Answer)`.
`Set<Class<?>>`	`getExtraInterfaces()`	the extra interfaces the mock object should implement.
`List<InvocationListener>`	`getInvocationListeners()`	`InvocationListener` instances attached to this mock, see `MockSettings.invocationListeners(InvocationListener...)`.
`String`	`getMockMaker()`	Returns the `MockMaker` which shall be used to create the mock.
`MockName`	`getMockName()`	the name of this mock, as printed on verification errors; see `MockSettings.name(java.lang.String)`.
`Object`	`getOuterClassInstance()`	Used when mocking non-static inner classes in conjunction with `isUsingConstructor()`
`SerializableMode`	`getSerializableMode()`
`Object`	`getSpiedInstance()`	the spied instance - needed for spies.
`Strictness`	`getStrictness()`	Sets strictness level for the mock, e.g.
`List<StubbingLookupListener>`	`getStubbingLookupListeners()`	Returns `StubbingLookupListener` instances attached to this mock via `MockSettings.stubbingLookupListeners(StubbingLookupListener...)`.
`Class<T>`	`getTypeToMock()`	Mocked type.
`List<VerificationStartedListener>`	`getVerificationStartedListeners()`	`VerificationStartedListener` instances attached to this mock, see `MockSettings.verificationStartedListeners(VerificationStartedListener...)`
`boolean`	`isLenient()`	Deprecated. Use `getStrictness()` instead.
`boolean`	`isSerializable()`	if the mock is serializable, see `MockSettings.serializable()`.
`boolean`	`isStripAnnotations()`	Whether the mock should not make a best effort to preserve annotations.
`boolean`	`isStubOnly()`	Whether the mock is only for stubbing, i.e.
`boolean`	`isUsingConstructor()`	Informs whether the mock instance should be created via constructor

- Method Detail
  - getTypeToMock
```
Class<T> getTypeToMock()
```
    Mocked type. An interface or class the mock should implement / extend.
  - getExtraInterfaces
```
Set<Class<?>> getExtraInterfaces()
```
    the extra interfaces the mock object should implement.
  - getMockName
```
MockName getMockName()
```
    the name of this mock, as printed on verification errors; see MockSettings.name(java.lang.String).
  - getDefaultAnswer
```
Answer<?> getDefaultAnswer()
```
    the default answer for this mock, see MockSettings.defaultAnswer(org.mockito.stubbing.Answer).
  - getSpiedInstance
```
Object getSpiedInstance()
```
    the spied instance - needed for spies.
  - isSerializable
```
boolean isSerializable()
```
    if the mock is serializable, see MockSettings.serializable().
  - getSerializableMode
```
SerializableMode getSerializableMode()
```
    Returns:
    
    the serializable mode of this mock
  - isStubOnly
```
boolean isStubOnly()
```
    Whether the mock is only for stubbing, i.e. does not remember parameters on its invocation and therefore cannot be used for verification
  - isStripAnnotations
```
boolean isStripAnnotations()
```
    Whether the mock should not make a best effort to preserve annotations.
  - getStubbingLookupListeners
```
List<StubbingLookupListener> getStubbingLookupListeners()
```
    Returns StubbingLookupListener instances attached to this mock via MockSettings.stubbingLookupListeners(StubbingLookupListener...). The resulting list is mutable, you can add/remove listeners even after the mock was created.
    For more details see StubbingLookupListener.
    
    Since:
    
    2.24.6
  - getInvocationListeners
```
List<InvocationListener> getInvocationListeners()
```
    InvocationListener instances attached to this mock, see MockSettings.invocationListeners(InvocationListener...).
  - getVerificationStartedListeners
```
List<VerificationStartedListener> getVerificationStartedListeners()
```
    VerificationStartedListener instances attached to this mock, see MockSettings.verificationStartedListeners(VerificationStartedListener...)
    
    Since:
    
    2.11.0
  - isUsingConstructor
```
boolean isUsingConstructor()
```
    Informs whether the mock instance should be created via constructor
    
    Since:
    
    1.10.12
  - getConstructorArgs
```
Object[] getConstructorArgs()
```
    Used when arguments should be passed to the mocked object's constructor, regardless of whether these arguments are supplied directly, or whether they include the outer instance.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array of arguments that are passed to the mocked object's constructor. If getOuterClassInstance() is available, it is prepended to the passed arguments.
    
    Since:
    
    2.7.14
  - getOuterClassInstance
```
Object getOuterClassInstance()
```
    Used when mocking non-static inner classes in conjunction with isUsingConstructor()
    
    Returns:
    
    the outer class instance used for creation of the mock object via the constructor.
    
    Since:
    
    1.10.12
  - isLenient
```
@Deprecated
boolean isLenient()
```
    Deprecated.
    Use getStrictness() instead. Informs if the mock was created with "lenient" strictness, e.g. having Strictness.LENIENT characteristic. For more information about using mocks with lenient strictness, see MockSettings.lenient().
    
    Since:
    
    2.20.0
  - getStrictness
```
Strictness getStrictness()
```
    Sets strictness level for the mock, e.g. having Strictness.STRICT_STUBS characteristic. For more information about using mocks with custom strictness, see MockSettings.strictness(Strictness).
    
    Since:
    
    4.6.0
  - getMockMaker
```
String getMockMaker()
```
    Returns the MockMaker which shall be used to create the mock. When the return value is null, the default shall be used.
    
    Since:
    
    4.8.0
