I have custom StdDeserializer<Date>, how can i unit test the overridden deserialize method here?

or how can i prepare or mock JsonParser here for unit testing desterilize method?

public class StringToDateDeserializer extends StdDeserializer<Date> {

    protected StdDateFormat df = new StdDateFormat();

    public StringToDateDeserializer() {
        this(null);
    }

    protected StringToDateDeserializer(Class<?> T) {
        super(T);
    }

    @Override
    public Date deserialize(JsonParser jsonParser, DeserializationContext ctxt) throws IOException {
        String dateStr = jsonParser.getText();
        if (StringUtils.isEmpty(dateStr)) {
            return null;
        }
        try {
            return df.parse(dateStr);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            throw new MyCustomException("Invalid date passed, ISO 8601 is expected");
        }
    }
}

Example of test for StringToDateDeserializer with 100% coverage.

public class TestClass {
    private ObjectMapper mapper;
    private StringToDateDeserializer deserializer;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        deserializer = new StringToDateDeserializer();
    }

    @Test
    public void dateTest() throws IOException {
        Date date = deserializer.deserialize(prepareParser("{ \"value\":\"2020-07-10T15:00:00.000\" }"), mapper.getDeserializationContext());

        Assert.assertNotNull(date);
        Assert.assertEquals(1594393200000L, date.getTime());
    }

    @Test(expected = MyCustomException.class)
    public void exceptionalTest() throws IOException {
        deserializer.deserialize(prepareParser("{ \"value\":\"2020-07\" }"), mapper.getDeserializationContext());
    }

    @Test
    public void nullTest() throws IOException {
        Date date = deserializer.deserialize(prepareParser("{ \"value\":\"\" }"), mapper.getDeserializationContext());

        Assert.assertNull(date);
    }

    private JsonParser prepareParser(String json) throws IOException {
        JsonParser parser = mapper.getFactory().createParser(json);
        while (parser.nextToken() != JsonToken.VALUE_STRING);
        return parser;
    }
}
