How can I test components that are not present in the main class, I mean they are in a separate controller with a fxml independent from main class

Is there a way to use a different properties file? My GUI has a web client so I'm considering creating a mock server for it. I wish to create a different properties file ie. application-test.properties for testing purposes.
