SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guide provides a structured Spring Boot TDD workflow to help teams develop features, fix bugs, and refactor confidently by driving development with tests using JUnit 5, Mockito, MockMvc, Testcontainers, and JaCoCo.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test-first development: write tests before implementing code to define expected behavior.
  • Layered testing coverage: supports unit, integration, and containerized tests (MockMvc, DataJpaTest, Testcontainers) with clear conventions.
  • Quality and maintainability: emphasizes fast, isolated tests and strict coverage targets to prevent regression.

Quick Start

Write a failing unit or integration test for a Spring Boot component, implement the minimum code to pass, and refactor while maintaining high test coverage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start test-first development in a Spring Boot application?

Spring Boot test-first development begins by writing a failing unit or integration test for a component, implementing the minimum code to pass, and refactoring while maintaining high test coverage using JUnit 5 and Mockito.

What is the best way to structure Spring Boot tests using Testcontainers and MockMvc?

The best way to structure Spring Boot tests is by applying layered testing conventions, using MockMvc for web layers and Testcontainers for containerized integration tests, ensuring fast, isolated tests that prevent regression.

Does this TDD workflow support bug fixes and refactoring in Spring Boot services?

Yes, this TDD workflow supports bug fixes and refactoring in Spring Boot services by driving development with tests, enforcing strict JaCoCo coverage targets, and applying layered testing conventions to ensure quality and maintainability.

Can I use JUnit 5 and Mockito for layered testing coverage in Spring Boot?

Yes, you can use JUnit 5 and Mockito for layered testing coverage in Spring Boot, supporting unit, integration, and containerized tests with clear conventions to define expected behavior before implementing code.

Why do I need JaCoCo and Testcontainers for Spring Boot automated testing?

You need JaCoCo to enforce strict coverage targets that prevent regression, and Testcontainers to run containerized integration tests, ensuring fast, isolated tests and maintainable Spring Boot application workflows.
