What this skill does

# Spring Boot Testing Standards

## **Priority: P0**

## Follow TDD Workflow

1. **Red**: Write failing test (e.g., `returns 404`).
2. **Green**: Implement minimal code to pass.
3. **Refactor**: Clean up while keeping tests green.
4. **Coverage**: Verify with JaCoCo.

## Write Slice and Integration Tests

- **Real Infrastructure**: Use **Testcontainers** for DB/Queues. Avoid H2/Embedded.
- **Assertions**: Use **AssertJ** (`assertThat`) over JUnit assertions.
- **Isolation**: Use `@MockBean` for downstream dependencies in Slice Tests.

See [implementation examples](references/implementation.md) for WebMvcTest slice tests and Testcontainers integration tests.

## Anti-Patterns

- **No Dirty Contexts**: Avoid @MockBean in base classes; it reloads context per test.
- **No network I/O in tests**: Mock external calls with WireMock.
- **No System.out in tests**: Use AssertJ assertions instead.
