>From nacx in one of the pull requests
I'll merge this PR, but after some discussions in the mailing list, we are
improving the way we implement unit tests. We are switching to use
[mockwebserver](http://code.google.com/p/mockwebserver/) instead of our custom
mock (generated by the `requestSendsResponse` methods). The main difference
when using mockwebserver is that the request is actually sent over the backing
http connection, so the tests are more complete and give us more confidence
that our apis work as expected.
It would be great to use that in upcoming pull requests. There are still no
tests in jclouds-chef that use it, but if you are willing to start with a test
base class we can reuse (and perhaps start changing some existing ExpectTest to
the new MockTest), you can take a look at the MockTests classes in the
[openstack-swift](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-openstack/tree/master/openstack-swift/src/test/java/org/jclouds/openstack/swift/v1/features)
api to see an example of how they work (they are pretty similar to our Expect
tests, though).
