springboot-tdd

Spring Boot TDD uses MockMvc to verify HTTP behavior in REST controllers and Testcontainers for isolated data-layer integration tests. It guides you through Arrange-Act-Assert patterns to ensure fast, focused tests across your service layers.

The best way to enforce code coverage is using JaCoCo reports alongside your JUnit 5 tests. This Skill guides you to review JaCoCo outputs during your Maven or Gradle build, ensuring your Spring Boot services maintain 80% or higher coverage.

Yes, Testcontainers works with Spring Boot Test for isolated integration tests. This Skill automates TDD guidance to scaffold these tests, ensuring your data-layer integrations run reliably without external dependencies during your Maven or Gradle build.

Yes, you need standard Java toolchains like Maven or Gradle to operate this Spring Boot TDD workflow. These build tools manage your JUnit 5, Mockito, and Spring Boot dependencies to execute tests and generate JaCoCo coverage reports.

MockMvc provides fast, isolated web layer testing by verifying HTTP behavior without starting a full server. This Skill uses MockMvc to keep controller tests focused and reliable, complementing heavier Testcontainers integration tests for data layers.

You should use parameterized tests when verifying multiple input variations across your Spring Boot logic. This Skill provides guided patterns for JUnit 5 parameterized tests and advises against partial mocks to maintain clear, focused test verification.
