What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly verify REST controller behavior in isolation from the service layer, enabling fast feedback on request/response mappings, validation, and exception handling without loading the full Spring context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated controller tests: Validate HTTP mappings, status codes, and serialization for controllers in isolation.
  • Request validation: Check parameter binding and validation errors without spinning up the full stack.
  • Error handling verification: Confirm proper error responses via @ControllerAdvice and exception mappings.

Quick Start

Create a test class using @WebMvcTest to load only the web layer, mock the service dependencies, and run tests with your chosen build tool.
