Spring Boot 2 JUnit

By default, Spring boot uses Junit 4. To write tests in Junit 5, read this migration guide : Junit 5 with Spring boot 2.

JUnit Test Class

1. @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) – tells JUnit to run using Spring’s testing support. SpringRunner is the new name for SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. It enables full support of spring context loading and dependency injection of the beans in the tests.

2. @SpringBootTest – annotation that can be specified on a test class that runs Spring Boot based tests. It provides ability to start a fully running web server listening on any defined or random port.

3. webEnvironment – enables requests and responses to travel over network and mock servlet container is not involved.

4. @LocalServerPort – injects the HTTP port that got allocated at runtime.
