How do I troubleshoot failing Spring tests with this skill?

The skill includes a built-in troubleshooting guide that helps diagnose common issues like context loading failures, MockBean misconfigurations, and Docker daemon timeouts.

Can I test specific parts of my Spring app without loading the whole context?

Yes, the skill specializes in 'Test Slices' like @WebMvcTest for controllers or @DataJpaTest for repositories, which only load the necessary beans to keep tests fast.

What testing tools does this skill support?

The skill supports a wide range of modern Java testing tools including JUnit 5, Mockito, MockMvc, TestContainers, WireMock, and Spring Security Test.

How does it handle database testing?

It provides optimized patterns for using TestContainers to run real databases (like PostgreSQL or MySQL) in Docker during the test lifecycle, ensuring your data layer tests are accurate.

Does it support Spring Boot 3?

Yes, the skill is updated for Spring Boot 3.x, utilizing the latest patterns for TestContainers 1.19+ and modern WireMock 3.x configurations.
