unit-test-caching

Test Spring @Cacheable behavior by using an in-memory CacheManager to validate cache hits, misses, and key generation in lightweight unit tests without loading the full application context.

Verify cache eviction by asserting cache state changes after triggering @CacheEvict, confirming the in-memory CacheManager removes targeted entries to validate the cache lifecycle.

Assert cache hits and misses by mocking service dependencies and verifying invocation counts, ensuring cached method calls bypass execution on hits and execute on misses.

Yes, you can test conditional caching by configuring an in-memory CacheManager to validate that @Cacheable condition expressions correctly bypass or populate the cache based on input parameters.

Testing @CachePut updates does not require a running Spring application; you can use an in-memory CacheManager to verify that method execution updates cache entries in isolated unit tests.
