Firstly basics, class names are pascal cased. compressContract should be CompressContract.

A unit test, mocking the compression contract would look like this. Laravel has helpers in the test cases to help you actual bind the mocked instance to the container. This is described in the documentation here.

/** @test **/
public function your_test()
{
    $this->mock(CompressContract::class, function (MockInterface $mock) {
         $mock->shouldReceive('compress')->once()->andReturn('If you want correct return');
    });

    // call your class or http test your controller.
}
