[jira] [Updated] (BEANUTILS-551) Refactor IntrospectionContextTestImpl in SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospectorTestCase.java to improve test design

    Description: 
h3. Description

I noticed that there is a test class [IntrospectionContextTestImpl|https://github.com/apache/commons-beanutils/blob/7196d86767e37a382329bb3b087d0f58c7301caf/src/test/java/org/apache/commons/beanutils2/SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospectorTestCase.java#L101] implements production interface [IntrospectionContext|https://github.com/apache/commons-beanutils/blob/7196d86767e37a382329bb3b087d0f58c7301caf/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/beanutils2/IntrospectionContext.java#L38] to assist testing methd [SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector:introspect(IntrospectionContext)|https://github.com/apache/commons-beanutils/blob/7196d86767e37a382329bb3b087d0f58c7301caf/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/beanutils2/SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector.java#L86]. This might not be the best priactice in unit testing and can be improved by leveraging mocking frameworks.
h3. Current Implementation
*  {{IntrospectionContextTestImpl}} implements {{IntrospectionContext}} and creates a new variable to keep tracking of the input parameters for {{removePropertyDescriptor(String)}}.
* In test cases, after executing test target, a set will be used in assertion statement to check the input parameters of {{removePropertyDescriptor(String)}}.

h3. Proposed Implementation
 * Replace {{IntrospectionContextTestImpl}} with a mocking object created by Mockito.
 * Extract the attribute into test cases to keep tracking input parameters.
 * Use method stub to control the behavior of the mocking object.

h3. Motivation
 - Decouple test class {{IntrospectionContextTestImpl}} from production interface {{IntrospectionContext}}.
 - Make test logic more clear by using method stub instead of method overriding.
