Different Singleton instances with JUnit tests

Question

I have a standalone singleton which successfully passes the test. But with a group of tests this fails since once a singleton is defined it does not allow to reset the instance.

Answer 1

Singleton instance needs to be passed to SUT by test itself - that way you create singleton (and destroy) for each test. Adopting IoC and mocking framework, like Mockito, would render this approach almost trivial.
