Have you put any debugging code in that method?

I think the OP means, verify that the method is called as part of a unit test.

I read that Mockito has a concept called 'spies', which you can use to observe that static or final methods are called. I'm not sure if that's what you need, or whether your mocking framework has a similar feature.

Mockito can indeed spy objects, but if I recall correctly only public methods. To create a spy simply call Mockito.spy with the object to spy as argument. There are probably some constraints, like the class not being able to be final etc.
