Test-driven development in Spring Boot using JUnit 5 and Mockito involves writing tests first, then implementing code, and refactoring. This workflow automates unit testing and mocking to ensure code reliability before execution.

Testing your Spring Boot web layer and database with MockMvc and Testcontainers enables robust integration testing. MockMvc handles web layer requests while Testcontainers manages database testing environments for reliable validation.

You need JaCoCo to enforce test coverage when writing Spring Boot tests because it ensures code coverage to maintain high standards. It integrates with the test-driven development workflow to track validation metrics.

You can use this TDD workflow to add new features or refactor an existing Spring Boot application. It guides implementing test-driven practices to ensure code maintainability and reliability during development.

The best way to set up a Spring Boot project for test-driven development is to start a new project and write unit tests for your service layer methods first. This requires the Spring Boot framework and related testing libraries.
