The Curse of Spring Test
Nowadays a rare Java developer hasn’t tried Spring Boot yet. Everyone wants to have the latest and greatest tools. We used to write Spring apps, now we write Spring Boot ones. We used to test Spring apps, now… well, you know.

Let’s examine the details of the pitfalls waiting for us here and there. In order to do that, we’ll test a “typical” app and ask ourselves the question that should be asked by any developer using Spring and integrating Spring Boot.
