Backend Testing Skill

When to Use

• Writing unit tests for services or repositories
• Writing controller tests with MockMvc
• Writing integration tests
• Reviewing test coverage or test quality

---

Stack

• JUnit5 + Spring Boot Test
• MockMvc for controller tests
• (Optional) Testcontainers for integration tests

---

Minimum Requirements

Each endpoint requires:

• At least 1 success test
• At least 1 failure test

Document important endpoints with Spring REST Docs.

What to Test

1. Validation errors - Invalid input handling
2. Authorization errors - If applicable
3. Idempotency behaviors - Duplicate request handling
4. TTL expiry behaviors - Session/token expiration

@Test
void should_ThrowException_When_InvalidInput() { }
