Testing

Choose the right test boundary

Spring testing tools isolate object, container and HTTP contracts through selected fixtures.

Learning roadmap

Read the contract, run the source-kit checks, and inspect a rejected input before extending the application. This subject covers Spring and Spring Boot together; Java language lessons remain in their own subject.

Prerequisites

Use Java object ownership, interfaces, exceptions and Maven builds before the framework-specific lessons.

Curriculum

Inspect the contract and its failure cases.

  1. 1Spring MockMvc tests: HTTP behavior without claiming a real network test
  2. 2Spring tests: separate business rules, wiring and transport
  3. 3Spring ApplicationContextRunner: check conditional assembly in isolation

Run the source-kit fixture and inspect its rejected boundary.

  1. 1Spring MockMvc standalone tests: know which HTTP layers were assembled

Run the source-kit test and inspect the rejected case.

  1. 1Spring test failures: prove the layer that can reject the request

Run the local fixture and inspect the retained state.

  1. 1Test a Spring worker at admission, lease and replay boundaries

Trace both accepted and rejected tenant requests.

  1. 1Test Spring JWT authorization through filters, service proxy and SQL

Trace a tenant-scoped command from token to committed rows.

  1. 1Spring command rollback test: inspect state after an injected failure

Check byte, storage and operational health boundaries.

  1. 1Spring MockMvc multipart tests: what the fixture proves

Trace ownership, retry and duplicate delivery boundaries.

  1. 1Spring relay failure trace: inspect persisted state at each cut point

Trace scheduled claims, retries and duplicate-safe completion.

  1. 1Spring relay integration tests: prove the boundaries H2 cannot

Check effective settings and staged database writes.

  1. 1Spring schema rollout tests: check old and new writers at every phase

Check selected settings and the staged database startup path.

  1. 1Spring Boot migration tests: distinguish a test starter from a runtime rollout

Follow the boundary from local fixtures to a release test.

  1. 1Spring release tests: distinguish context checks from process and platform checks

Read the checked transport, timeout and replay contracts.

  1. 1Test Spring RestClient on a socket without claiming a remote service

Distinguish child-process checks from deployment checks.

  1. 1Spring Boot config tests: what a child JVM proves and what deployment still owes

Separate local child-process proof from platform secret delivery.

  1. 1Spring Boot file-tree tests: prove binding without claiming secret delivery
