FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-generate unit tests for Spring Boot controllers and services?

Auto-generate unit tests using template-driven scaffolding for Spring Boot controllers, services, and repositories. The Skill creates test stubs with JUnit 5, Mockito, and MockMvc annotations pre-configured, eliminating manual boilerplate and accelerating test coverage across your application layers.

Can I use this test generator with Spring Boot 3.x and Gradle?

Yes, this Skill supports Spring Boot 2.x and 3.x projects built with Maven or Gradle. It generates test templates compatible with JUnit 5, Mockito, and TestRestTemplate, adapting to your build tool and framework version automatically.

What test templates does this Skill provide for Spring Boot applications?

The Skill provides four core test templates: ControllerTest for HTTP endpoints, ServiceTest for business logic, RepositoryTest for data access, and IntegrationTest for end-to-end scenarios. Each template includes appropriate annotations and configurations for unit, integration, and end-to-end verification.

How do I set up test scaffolding for multiple modules in a Spring Boot project?

Use template-driven content discovery across modules to generate test scaffolding automatically. The Skill applies diff-guided file discovery and module-aware templates, creating consistent ControllerTest, ServiceTest, RepositoryTest, and IntegrationTest stubs across your entire application structure.

Does this Skill work with both MockMvc and TestRestTemplate?

Yes. The Skill generates test templates supporting both MockMvc for controller unit testing and TestRestTemplate for integration testing. Choose the appropriate template based on your test scope—MockMvc for isolated controller tests, TestRestTemplate for full context integration tests.

What are the limitations when generating tests for Spring Boot repositories?

RepositoryTest templates are designed for standard Spring Data JPA patterns. Custom query methods or non-standard data access patterns may require manual test adjustments after generation to match your specific repository implementation.
