What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured TDD workflow for Spring Boot services to improve test coverage, reliability, and maintainability when adding features, fixing bugs, or refactoring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided test-driven development with JUnit 5 and Mockito for service and web layers.
  • Incorporates integration tests using Spring Boot Test, MockMvc, and Testcontainers.
  • Promotes measurable quality with JaCoCo coverage guidance and repeatable patterns.

Quick Start

Run the Spring Boot TDD workflow to write a failing test first, then implement code until the test passes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure Spring Boot tests with JUnit 5 and Mockito?

Structure Spring Boot tests using a layered pattern that separates unit, web, and integration tests, applying JUnit 5 and Mockito to mock service and web layer dependencies for isolated validation.

How do I write integration tests for Spring Boot using Testcontainers?

Write Spring Boot integration tests using Testcontainers to manage external dependencies, applying MockMvc to verify web endpoints and Spring Boot Test annotations to load application contexts for full validation.

What is the best way to enforce TDD workflow when refactoring Spring Boot services?

Enforce a test-driven development workflow by writing a failing test first, then implementing code until it passes, ensuring refactoring maintains test rigor and improves overall code quality.

Does this TDD workflow include JaCoCo code coverage requirements?

Yes, the TDD workflow incorporates JaCoCo coverage guidance to establish measurable quality thresholds, ensuring repeatable patterns and adequate test coverage across unit, web, and integration layers.

Can I use MockMvc for testing Spring Boot web layers without a full server?

Yes, MockMvc allows you to test Spring Boot web layers by simulating HTTP requests against controllers without starting a full server, making it ideal for fast and isolated web layer validation.
