About the Book

The "Testing Spring Boot Applications Masterclass" is an in-depth online course designed for Java developers who want to master testing their Spring Boot applications. It covers a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of testing with JUnit 5 and Mockito to advanced concepts like Testcontainers, integration testing, and end-to-end testing.

The course is structured to take participants from basic to advanced testing techniques, ensuring they understand not just how to write tests, but also why certain testing practices are important.

Participants will learn to leverage Spring Boot's testing features to write unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests effectively. The course includes lessons on how to use test slices for slicing the context and focusing on the component under test, thereby speeding up the test suite. It also dives into testing security, transactions, and Spring Data JPA repositories, which are crucial for ensuring application robustness and reliability.

The course is hands-on, with practical exercises and real-world examples that allow learners to apply what they've learned immediately. It emphasizes the importance of test-driven development (TDD) and how to implement it within Spring Boot applications, fostering a development process that leads to cleaner code and fewer bugs.

By the end of the course, attendees will be proficient in testing Spring Boot applications, equipped with the knowledge to implement a comprehensive testing strategy in their projects. This mastery includes understanding how to mock external services, configure test environments, and integrate testing into the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring that applications are thoroughly tested at every stage of development.

The course aims to instill confidence in developers, making testing a natural and integral part of the software development lifecycle.
