Overview
Problem
- How can we test Spring MVC Web Controllers？
- How can we create HTTP requests and send to the controller?
- How can we verify the response? status_code, view_name, model_attributes.
Spring Testing support
- Mock object support for web, REST APIs etc.
- For testing controller, we can use MockMvc.
- Provides Spring MVC processing of request/response.
- There is no need to run a server(embadded or external).
Development process
- Add annotation @AutoConfigureMockMvc
- Inject the MockMvc
- Perform web request
- Define expections
- Assert results
