When we do integration testing of our Spring Boot application, we sometimes need to make it load an alternative configuration. For example, we might need to run and test our application on a different port number, make it connect to a database as a different user or even make it connect to a different database.…

What is REST Assured? REST Assured is a Java-based library for testing RESTful web services. It provides a domain-specific language (DSL) for writing tests that interact with web services using…
Read More Validate JSON Response with REST AssuredThis short REST Assured tutorial will teach you how to validate the HTTP Response Status Code while testing a RESTful Web Service endpoint. Each HTTP Response includes a status code, and by examining the status code value, we can determine if the HTTP Response was successful or not. Let’s explore how we can use REST…

In this tutorial, we’ll discuss an Introduction to the Mockito Argument Matchers along with some examples and the creation of a custom argument matcher. So, let’s begin! If you are not familiar with…
Read More Mockito Argument Matchers: Examples and UsageIn this tutorial, you will learn how to use @MockBean annotation in your Unit tests. @MockBean annotation is used to create and place mocks into Spring Application Contexts. If Spring Application Context does already have a bean of the same type then this bean will be replaced with a mock object. Otherwise, a new bean(mock)…

Test suites can be used to group related tests or to test different aspects of a complex system. They can also be used to run tests…
Read More JUnit 5 Test Suite TutorialMockito enables partial mocking of an object, allowing us to create a mock object while still invoking a real method. To achieve this, we can use Mockito’s thenCallRealMethod() method to call a real method on a mocked object. I have also created several step-by-step video lessons that demonstrate how to test Java applications. If you…
Read More Mockito – Call a Real MethodI often find myself needing to run a single unit test for a particular project from the command line in my terminal window, rather than all of the tests. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to do just that: run a specific unit test using Maven from the command line. For video tutorials…
Read More Running a Single Unit Test with MavenIn this tutorial, you will learn how to write a JUnit test that validates whether the method under test throws the correct exception. The tutorial includes examples for both JUnit 5 and JUnit 4. For video lessons, check out my video course: Testing Java with JUnit and Mockito. Let’s begin with JUnit 5 version first.…
