Expected Result is <0> Instead of a Date

I have this Junit test that I am trying to write for a date. The piece of code the unit test is for is a function that returns a date. Below I have what I wrote for the code.

    public void getLatestHistoricalLossDate() {

    List<Overview> scenarioListTest3 = new ArrayList<Overview>();

    String name = "third_scenario-test";
    ISO8601DateFormat df = new ISO8601DateFormat();
    Date estimationDate = null;
    try {
        estimationDate = df.parse("2017-01-28T22:25:51Z");
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Date creationDate = null;
    try {
        creationDate = df.parse("2017-02-28T22:25:51Z");
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Double balance = 131750000.0;
    Double individualReviewImpairment = 1000.00;
    Map<String, Double> baseline = new HashMap<String, Double>();
    baseline.put("complete", 1000.0);

    Map<String, Double> macroAdjustment = new HashMap<String, Double>();
    macroAdjustment.put("complete", 2000.0);

    Map<String, Double> qualitativeAdjustment = new HashMap<String, Double>();
    qualitativeAdjustment.put("complete", 3000.0);

    Date positionDate = null;
    try {
        positionDate = df.parse("2017-01-28T22:25:51Z");
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    Date lossHistoryDate = null;
    try {
        lossHistoryDate = df.parse("2017-01-28T22:25:51Z");
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    String status = "active";

    Map<String, Integer> period = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
    period.put("Q1", 2017);

    boolean publish = true;

    Overview ac = new Overview(4, name, estimationDate, creationDate, balance, individualReviewImpairment, baseline,
            macroAdjustment, qualitativeAdjustment, positionDate, lossHistoryDate, status, period, publish);

    scenarioListTest3.add(ac);

    Mockito.when(scenarioDashboardService.getLatestHistoricalLossDate()).thenReturn(lossHistoryDate);
}

@Test
public void testgetLatestHistoricalLossDate() throws Exception {

    getLatestHistoricalLossDate();

    ISO8601DateFormat df = new ISO8601DateFormat();
    Date testLossHistoryDate = scenarioDashboardService.getLatestHistoricalLossDate();
    assertEquals(df.parse("2017-01-28T22:25:51Z"), testLossHistoryDate);
    int expectedHistoricalDate = testLossHistoryDate.compareTo(testLossHistoryDate);
    Date lossHistoricalDate = df.parse("2017-01-28T22:25:51Z");
    assertEquals(expectedHistoricalDate, lossHistoricalDate);
}

When I run the test, it states that the expected result is 0 instead of the date listed which I don't understand why. Normally I would have the assertEquals() statement as assertEquals(1, testLossHistoryDate.size()); but the .size does not work with dates. Anyone know a different way to do the same thing?

    assertNotNull(testLossHistoryDate);

This checks that there is exactly one date.

Since your methord’s return type is Date, it cannot return more than one Date. It can however return null, that is, no date at all; but the above assertion will catch if that happens and fail the test.

PS The java.util.Date is long outdated. You may do yourself the favour of looking into java.time, the modern Java date and time API. It is so much nicer to work with. Link: Oracle Tutorial: Date Time.
