Google uses mocks and fakes implementations of interfaces, and provides dependency injection frameworks for managing these (Guice and Dagger).

I once worked with a guy who obsessively made interfaces for every java class. Even domain objects. He was extremely proud of this.

It was garbage.

Was this in Amazon? If so, it might have been me. Sorry about that. I have learnt my lesson now.

I don’t recall doing it for domain objects though.
