Quiero escribir una prueba unitaria. Por lo tanto, necesito MutableLiveData. Comencé con una prueba muy básica para la configuración, pero no puedo crear una instancia de un objeto MutableLiveData. Siempre soy nulo cuando ejecuto la prueba. ¿Tengo que burlarme de algo? ¿Alguna sugerencia?

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class DefaultLiveDataTest {

    private static final int EXPECTED = 5;

    private final MutableLiveData<Integer> underTest = new MutableLiveData<>();


    @Test
    public void exampleTest() {

    underTest.setValue(EXPECTED); //underTest is Null
    assertEquals(underTest.getValue().intValue(), EXPECTED);

    }
}

java.lang.NullPointerException
