There's a more fundamental issue here - at least it seems more fundamental to me. :-) If the meaning of doEverything is "run a, b and c, in order" then you ...
I would not unit test it as it stands. Once you've mocked the method calls, there's no additional logic to test. So, why test it. If there were some...
