Type	Remark
ComponentsTestUtil	Set default implementations or instances when IoC can't be used yet.
MgnlTestCase	Sets up a basic environment for the test, loads beans and modules properties and initializes a mock context as the local context.
RepositoryTestCase	Superclass for Tests requiring access to a real jcr repo.
MockUtil	Util to create mock objects - especially MockContexts.
MockContext	Context where you can add Sessions and set a User
MockNode	Mock implementation of a jcr Node
MockContent	MockImplemenation of a Content

What to choose when

Here's a few examples that should help to understand what approach should preferably be used in what situation:

General Setup	Specifics	Preferred Approach
Class under tests operates on JCR Node	only few calls to the Node	use Mockito mock
	need a simple hierarchy of Nodes	directly use MockNode()
	need a simple hierarchy of Nodes but with several properties	use SessionTestUtil to instantiate MockSession + MockNodes from propertiesStream or String
	need a complex hierarchy of Nodes, real NodeTypes or issue real queries	use RepositoryTestCase
