Spring Boot Testing with JUnit 5, Mockito & Testcontainers

In this course, you will learn how to write Unit tests and Integration tests in BDD style for

Spring Boot applications

as well as

Spring WebFlux applications

using JUnit 5, Mockito, AssertJ, Hamcrest, JsonPath, and Testcontainers frameworks.

Recent update

: I have added lectures on JUnit 5 fundamentals.

Important note:

This course is updated to use

Spring Boot 3

.

Type the code along with me in the videos. If you follow along with me, then this will enhance your learning experience.

The source code and PDF files (class notes) are available for download.

Spring Boot Overview

Spring Boot is an opinionated framework that helps developers build Spring-based applications quickly and easily. The main goal of Spring Boot is to quickly create Spring-based applications without requiring developers to write the same boilerplate configuration repeatedly. Spring Boot is a popular framework for developing REST web services and microservices.

Spring WebFlux Overview

Spring 5 includes Spring WebFlux, which provides reactive programming support for web applications.

Spring WebFlux internally uses Project Reactor and its publisher implementations,Flux and Mono

. The new framework supports two programming models:

Annotation-based reactive components

Functional routing and handling This course will focus on building reactive REST APIs using annotation-based reactive components.

Excellent reviews from Students on this course:

"Ramesh is a great teacher; he provides very clear explanations of complex concepts." "Ramesh explains things very well! His instructions are easy to follow and understand. The course is very beneficial." - Well structured course covering all layers of testing - Implement each method with the "right to the point" explanation - Nice introduction to TestContainers - Easy to code along - Fast answers from the instructor Looking for more deep dives courses such as Maven, Gradle, DevOps tools used in production." "Awesome course. All the basics needed to test a spring application are discussed, and more. Exactly what i needed and coudn't find anywhere. Ramesh is a great instructor. Thank you sir !" "A very good course explained with excellent examples. Lot to learn from this course, covered every layer of a typical Spring Boot application." "I really appreciate the trainer Ramesh to providing is this amazing course, the content of this course and explanation is great." "Wonderful Sir, Loved the way u explain things. And I am very lucky that I found this course at right time." "I am personally very impressed with this course, if you dont have any prior experience of unit testing I am pretty sure that after taking this course you will feel more confident and I would be happy if the lecturer could also release some training tutorials about Microservices and TDD approach. thanks and wish you all the successes." "Even though as a experience guy, this course was very useful.." "The course is great and covers all I need to create my tests. I truly recommend it ." "Great course. This is the second course I am taking from Ramesh. Interesting so far." "Awesome course and highly recommend it." "This course is a good match for me. Especially so because it's new and up to date." "great teacher and great course" "Yes this is a good match for me and I am glad I enrolled for this. I personally prefer teaching of ramesh.fadatare. I started to watch his videos from YouTube and also gone through his comments to few problems in stack overflow. I thought it would be good if I can go through all his videos in one go." "this is what they ask you to do on a real job... please do more courses ramesh.. amazing as always"
