Java Testing Skill
Write comprehensive tests for Java applications with modern testing practices.
Overview
This skill covers Java testing with JUnit 5, Mockito, AssertJ, and integration testing with Spring Boot Test and Testcontainers. Includes TDD patterns and test coverage strategies.
When to Use This Skill
Use when you need to:
- Write unit tests with JUnit 5
- Create mocks with Mockito
- Build integration tests with Testcontainers
- Implement TDD/BDD practices
- Improve test coverage
Topics Covered
JUnit 5
- @Test, @Nested, @DisplayName
- @ParameterizedTest with sources
- Lifecycle annotations
- Extensions and custom annotations
Mockito
- @Mock, @InjectMocks, @Spy
- Stubbing (when/thenReturn)
- Verification (verify, times)
- BDD style (given/willReturn)
AssertJ
- Fluent assertions
- Collection assertions
- Exception assertions
- Custom assertions
Integration Testing
- @SpringBootTest slices
- Testcontainers setup
- MockMvc for APIs
- Database testing
Quick Reference
// Unit Test with Mockito
@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
class UserServiceTest {
@Mock
private UserRepository userRepository;
@InjectMocks
private UserService userService;
@Test
@DisplayName("Should find user by ID")
void shouldFindUserById() {
// Given
User user = new User(1L, "John");
given(userRepository.findById(1L)).willReturn(Optional.of(user));
// When
Optional<User> result = userService.findById(1L);
// Then
assertThat(result)
.isPresent()
.hasValueSatisfying(u ->
assertThat(u.getName()).isEqualTo("John"));
then(userRepository).should().findById(1L);
}
}
// Parameterized Test
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvSource({
"[email protected], true",
"invalid-email, false",
"'', false"
})
void shouldValidateEmail(String email, boolean expected) {
assertThat(validator.isValid(email)).isEqualTo(expected);
}
// Integration Test with Testcontainers
@Testcontainers
@SpringBootTest
class OrderRepositoryIT {
@Container
static PostgreSQLContainer<?> postgres =
new PostgreSQLContainer<>("postgres:15");
@DynamicPropertySource
static void configure(DynamicPropertyRegistry registry) {
registry.add("spring.datasource.url", postgres::getJdbcUrl);
registry.add("spring.datasource.username", postgres::getUsername);
registry.add("spring.datasource.password", postgres::getPassword);
}
@Autowired
private OrderRepository repository;
@Test
void shouldPersistOrder() {
Order saved = repository.save(new Order("item", 100.0));
assertThat(saved.getId()).isNotNull();
}
}
// API Test with MockMvc
@WebMvcTest(UserController.class)
class UserControllerTest {
@Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
@MockBean
private UserService userService;
@Test
void shouldReturnUser() throws Exception {
given(userService.findById(1L))
.willReturn(Optional.of(new User(1L, "John")));
mockMvc.perform(get("/api/users/1"))
.andExpect(status().isOk())
.andExpect(jsonPath("$.name").value("John"));
}
}
Test Data Builders
public class UserTestBuilder {
private Long id = 1L;
private String name = "John Doe";
private String email = "[email protected]";
private boolean active = true;
public static UserTestBuilder aUser() {
return new UserTestBuilder();
}
public UserTestBuilder withName(String name) {
this.name = name;
return this;
}
public UserTestBuilder inactive() {
this.active = false;
return this;
}
public User build() {
return new User(id, name, email, active);
}
}
// Usage
User user = aUser().withName("Jane").inactive().build();

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mock not working | Missing @ExtendWith | Add MockitoExtension |
| NPE in test | Mock not initialized | Check @InjectMocks |
| Flaky test | Shared state | Isolate test data |
| Context fails | Missing bean | Use @MockBean |
Debug Checklist
β‘ Run single test in isolation
β‘ Check mock setup matches invocation
β‘ Verify @BeforeEach setup
β‘ Review @Transactional boundaries
β‘ Check for shared mutable state
