    I agree with you @syed, it is always good to discuss the patterns we use.
    That example you brought up also works; it would do the same tricky to 
test, but using an appender stead of mocking. I am good with that too; I just 
coded differently, because I do not like much the idea of getting log entries 
by hand. But, I am willing to go either way. If you go the other way, please 
revert my commit, so the history does not get messed up.
    
    For the new tests you have to write, you could mock the creation of the 
Object buffered writer, to one that you can control and check if the 
“write” method is been used as expected. In other words, writing the 
strings you expect to write.
    Here there is an example of that for the File class (it is not the same, 
but it will give you an idea):
