Spring Boot Overview

Spring Boot is an opinionated framework that helps developers build Spring-based applications quickly and easily.

The main goal of Spring Boot is to quickly create Spring-based applications without requiring developers to write the same boilerplate configuration again and again.

Spring Boot is a very popular framework to develop REST web services and microservices.

Spring WebFlux Overview

Spring 5 includes Spring WebFlux, which provides reactive programming support for web applications.

Spring WebFlux internally uses Project Reactor and its publisher implementations, Flux and Mono.

The new framework supports two programming models:

  • Annotation-based reactive components

  • Functional routing and handling

In this course, we will focus on building reactive REST APIs using annotation-based reactive components.

What you'll learn?

  • Learn to write industry-standard Unit and Integration tests in BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) style using Spring Boot Starter Test dependency from scratch

  • Learn how to use BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) format that is given/when/then to write Unit tests.

  • Learn to Unit test the Spring boot application Repository layer

  • Learn to Unit test the Spring boot application Service layer

  • Learn to Unit test the Spring boot application Controller layer

  • Learn how to do Integration testing for the Spring boot application.

  • Learn how to do Integration testing using Testcontainers // very important

  • You will learn to use the most important Unit Testing

  • You will learn to write Unit tests using Mocks and Stubs created with Mockito

  • Learn how to use Mockito annotations to create mock objects.

  • Learn to Write Integration Tests using a MySQL database.

  • You will learn to Write

  • Learn Building Reactive"

    "Ramesh explains things very well. His instructions are easy to follow and understand. The course is very beneficial"

    " Well structured course covering all layers of testing
