```
    Convenience method to get a method from a class type without having to catch the checked exceptions otherwise required. These exceptions are wrapped as runtime exceptions.
    The method will first try to look for a declared method in the same class. If the method is not declared in this class it will look for the method in the super class. This will continue throughout the whole class hierarchy. If the method is not found an MethodNotFoundException is thrown. Since the method name is not specified an

    type - The type of the class where the method is located.
    
    parameterTypes - All parameter types of the method (may be null).

    Invoke a constructor. Useful for testing classes with a private constructor when PowerMock cannot determine which constructor to invoke. This only happens if you have two constructors with the same number of arguments where one is using primitive data types and the other is using the wrapped counter part. For example:
```
 public class MyClass {
 private MyClass(Integer i) {
 ...
 }

 private MyClass(int i) {
 ...
 }
 
```
    This ought to be a really rare case. So for most situation, use

    Get all fields assignable from a particular type. This method traverses the class hierarchy when checking for the type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - The object to look for type. Note that if're you're passing an object only instance fields are checked, passing a class will only check static fields.
    
    type - The type to look for.
    
    Returns:
    
    A set of all fields of the particular type.
  - getAllInstanceFields
```
public static Set<Field> getAllInstanceFields(Object object)
```
    Get all instance fields for a particular object. It returns all fields regardless of the field modifier and regardless of where in the class hierarchy a field is located.
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - The object whose instance fields to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    All instance fields in the hierarchy. All fields are set to accessible
  - getAllStaticFields
```
public static Set<Field> getAllStaticFields(Class<?> type)
```
    Get all static fields for a particular type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The class whose static fields to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    All static fields in . All fields are set to accessible.
  - isClass
```
public static boolean isClass(Object argument)
```
    Checks if is class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    argument - the argument
    
    Returns:
    
    true, if is class
  - checkIfParameterTypesAreSame
```
public static boolean checkIfParameterTypesAreSame(boolean isVarArgs,
                                                   Class<?>[] expectedParameterTypes,
                                                   Class<?>[] actualParameterTypes)
```
    Check if parameter types are same.
    
    Parameters:
    
    isVarArgs - Whether or not the method or constructor contains var args.
    
    expectedParameterTypes - the expected parameter types
    
    actualParameterTypes - the actual parameter types
    
    Returns:
    
    if all actual parameter types are assignable from the expected parameter types, otherwise.
  - setInternalStateFromContext
```
public static void setInternalStateFromContext(Object object,
                                               Object context,
                                               Object[] additionalContexts)
```
    Set the values of multiple instance fields defined in a context using reflection. The values in the context will be assigned to values on the instance. This method will traverse the class hierarchy when searching for the fields. Example usage:
    Given:
```
 public class MyContext {
        private String myString = "myString";
        protected int myInt = 9;
 }

 public class MyInstance {
        private String myInstanceString;
        private int myInstanceInt;

 }
 
```
    then
```
 Whitebox.setInternalStateFromContext(new MyInstance(), new MyContext());
 
```
    will set the instance variables of myInstance to the values specified in MyContext.
    Parameters:
    
    object - the object
    
    context - The context where the fields are defined.
    
    additionalContexts - Optionally more additional contexts.
  - setInternalStateFromContext
```
public static void setInternalStateFromContext(Object object,
                                               Object context,
                                               FieldMatchingStrategy strategy)
```
  - setInternalStateFromContext
```
public static void setInternalStateFromContext(Object object,
                                               Class<?> context,
                                               Class<?>[] additionalContexts)
```
    Set the values of multiple static fields defined in a context using reflection. The values in the context will be assigned to values on the classOrInstance. This method will traverse the class hierarchy when searching for the fields. Example usage:
    Given:
```
 public class MyContext {
        private static String myString = "myString";
        protected static int myInt = 9;
 }

 public class MyInstance {
        private static String myInstanceString;
        private static int myInstanceInt;

 }
 
```
    then
```
 Whitebox.setInternalStateFromContext(MyInstance.class, MyContext.class);
 
```
    will set the static variables of MyInstance to the values specified in MyContext.
    Parameters:
    
    object - the object
    
    context - The context where the fields are defined.
    
    additionalContexts - Optionally more additional contexts.
