Isolate complex external dependencies (like API clients or databases) so they can be replaced with mock objects during testing. - Inject external services (e.g., `http.Client`) through class constructors. - Represent URLs strictly as `Uri` objects using `Uri.parse(string)`. - Utilize Dart's object-oriented features (classes, mixins) to define clear interfaces for external interactions. ## Managing Dependencies Configure the `pubspec.yaml` file with the necessary testing and code generation packages. - Add runtime dependencies (e.g., `package:http`) using `dart pub add http`. - Add testing dependencies using `dart pub add dev:test dev:mockito dev:build_runner`. - Import HTTP libraries with a prefix to avoid namespace collisions: `import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;`. ## Generating Mocks Use `package:mockito` and `build_runner` to automatically generate mock classes for fixed scenarios and behavior verification. - Always use the `@GenerateNiceMocks` annotation (preferable to `@GenerateMocks` to avoid
