SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guides teams to implement test-driven development for Spring Boot services, reducing defects by validating requirements through tests first.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD guidance for Spring Boot services using JUnit 5, Mockito, MockMvc, Testcontainers, and JaCoCo to drive development and coverage.
  • Supports unit, web layer, and integration tests with runnable examples and patterns.
  • Use Case: When adding features, fixing bugs, or refactoring, apply the workflow to ensure tests guide changes and maintainability.

Quick Start

Create a new Spring Boot project, write failing unit tests with JUnit 5 and Mockito, then implement minimal code to pass and achieve desired coverage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement test-driven development for Spring Boot services?

To implement test-driven development for Spring Boot services, write failing unit tests with JUnit 5 first, then add minimal code to pass them, and finally verify coverage using JaCoCo across unit, web layer, and integration tests.

Can I use Testcontainers and MockMvc for Spring Boot integration testing?

Yes, you can use Testcontainers and MockMvc for Spring Boot integration testing. This workflow supports writing integration tests and web layer tests to validate service behavior and ensure high test coverage during feature development and refactoring.

What is the best way to enforce test coverage when refactoring Java Spring Boot projects?

The best way to enforce test coverage when refactoring Java Spring Boot projects is applying a TDD workflow with JaCoCo. You write failing tests first, implement minimal code to pass, and verify high coverage across unit, web, and integration tests.

Does this TDD workflow support fixing bugs in Spring Boot applications?

Yes, this TDD workflow supports fixing bugs in Spring Boot applications. It guides teams to validate requirements through tests first when adding features, fixing bugs, or refactoring, reducing defects by ensuring tests guide code changes.

Why write failing tests first before implementing Spring Boot service code?

Writing failing tests first before implementing Spring Boot service code validates requirements upfront and reduces defects. You then write minimal code to pass the tests and verify coverage with JaCoCo to maintain high quality.
