What is the Spring Testing Framework for integration testing?

The Spring Testing Framework provides support for testing Spring components with JUnit or TestNG. It simplifies integration testing by allowing you to load application contexts and manage transactions.

How do I set up integration tests using Spring?

To set up integration tests, you can use the @SpringBootTest annotation to load the application context. You can also use @MockBean to mock dependencies.

Can you give me an example of an integration test?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class MyServiceIntegrationTest {

    @Autowired
    private MyService myService;

    @Test
    public void testServiceMethod() {
        // Your test logic here
    }
}

What are some best practices for writing integration tests?

Some best practices include keeping tests independent, using test containers for databases, and cleaning up after tests to avoid side effects.
