SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of developing Spring Boot applications by enforcing a test-driven development (TDD) methodology, ensuring robust code and high test coverage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD Enforcement: Guides developers to write tests before implementation.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Supports unit, web layer, integration, and persistence testing.
  • Coverage Goal: Aims for 80%+ code coverage using JaCoCo.
  • Use Case: When building a new REST API endpoint in a Spring Boot microservice, use this Skill to guide the creation of failing tests, implement the minimal code to pass, refactor, and verify coverage.

Quick Start

Use the springboot-tdd skill to implement a new feature following the TDD workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about springboot-tdd

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply test-driven development to a Spring Boot REST API?▼

Spring Boot TDD guides you to write failing tests before implementation, add minimal code to pass, refactor, and verify coverage using JUnit 5, Mockito, and MockMvc for REST API endpoints.

How does Testcontainers work for Spring Boot integration testing?▼

Testcontainers provisions disposable Docker containers during Spring Boot integration tests. This TDD workflow integrates Testcontainers to execute reliable persistence and integration layer tests.

Can I use Mockito and JUnit 5 to enforce a 80% code coverage goal?▼

Yes, you can enforce an 80% code coverage goal. This TDD workflow combines JUnit 5 and Mockito for test creation with JaCoCo coverage analysis to verify robust code and high thresholds.

What is the best way to structure unit and web layer tests in Spring Boot?▼

The best way is separating Mockito-based unit tests from MockMvc-based web tests. This TDD workflow supports comprehensive testing across unit, web layer, integration, and persistence layers.

Does Spring Boot TDD workflow support bug fixing and refactoring existing services?▼

Yes, the Spring Boot TDD workflow supports bug fixing and refactoring existing services. It applies TDD principles to microservice maintenance, ensuring refactoring achieves high JaCoCo code coverage targets.
