```
This is a code generation task. You are expected to write working code that solves the described problem.
<issue>
      ```
Mockito.verify(converter, times(1)).convert(isA(SFDLBean.class));
```
This code leads to: 

> Return value of method without side effect is ignored
> This code calls a method and ignores the return value. However our analysis shows that the method (including its implementations in subclasses if any) does not produce any effect other than return value. >  Thus this call can be removed.
> We are trying to reduce the false positives as much as possible, but in some cases this warning might be wrong. Common false-positive cases include:
> - The method is designed to be overridden and produce a side effect in other projects which are out of > the scope of the analysis.
> - The method is called to trigger the class loading which may have a side effect.
> - The method is called just to get some exception.
> If you feel that our assumption is incorrect, you can use a @CheckReturnValue annotation to instruct SpotBugs that ignoring the return value of this method is acceptable.

> Bug kind and pattern: RV - RV_RETURN_VALUE_IGNORED_NO_SIDE_EFFECT

The verify method  does effect the code - it breaks the unit test if the method is not called 1 time. Its more or less like an assert.
I will workaround this now with @CheckReturnValue but for me, this is a very common use case. Is it possible to fix that in spotbugs? Thanks!

</issue>
Focus on implementing the required functionality correctly and efficiently. Treat this as a programming challenge.
