For those DAO, Services, how about using static objects with mockk for test
The official suggests using dagger/hilt to inject them. However, they could be static based on the static ApplicationContext. Although Dagger/hilt aids in unit testing, mockk can accomplish this easily as well by modifying bytecode during run time. As for the stability, `mockk` has 5000+ stars on GitHub and keeps renewing.

Best practices for Unit Testing Android Apps with Mockk, Kotest and others
Mockk is a rather new framework; it was originally designed for Kotlin, although it supports Java as well. Before mockito-kotlin was released, using Mockk was much easier and beneficial for Kotlin developers, but right now both these frameworks have nearly the same set of features and similar syntax. For example, assume that our function loadUsers is no longer synchronous, but rather suspended:
-
LocalDateTime.now() mockk
You can use mockkStatic for that, see docs. Also don't forget to unmockkStatic afterwards.

reflective-mockk: Stub methods programmatically using kotlin-reflect
WARNING: reflective-mockk is currently powered by a reflective “hack” on mockK, and is thereby subject to removal/breakage by the mockK team at any time. If you enjoy this library & want it to be officially supported, post a comment saying so on this PR: https://github.com/mockk/mockk/pull/1005.

From Java to Kotlin. There and back again
Mockito does not work correctly with Kotlin types out of the box. Spring recommends using Mockk. There is also a special module for Mockito, which adds support for Kotlin - Mockito-Kotlin.

Week of Java: Part 5: Testing Your Code
Note: The use of JUnit is to avoid introducing too many new frameworks/libraries to the reader. However, I recommend using KotlinTest as your assertion library for your future projects. Stephen Samuel has written some good articles about KotlinTest such as Data Driven Testing With Kotlin and Kotlin Test Pro Tips.
