Spring Boot Testing - REST API Integration Testing using Testcontainers | Crash Course

In this video tutorial, we will learn how to do Spring Boot application Integration Testing using Testcontainers.

First, we write Integration tests using a local MySQL database, and then we will address the problem with Testcontainers as a solution.

SpringBoot provides excellent support for integration testing using @SpringBootTest annotation.

Testcontainers is a Java library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.

Testcontainer allows us to use Docker containers within our tests. As a result, we can write self-contained integration tests that depend on external resources.

@Java Guide Are you sure that above example is actually using TestContainer database ? I think it's using local database running your system while executing the test cases.

Hey man
If I have 3 roles admin manager and emplyee
and I have 3 features/domains: Auth, User, Task

Should I test by role or by domain? I mean should I test typical scenario for employee etc.or task?
