Validating Spring Boot Context Configuration in spring-boot-examples

This test suite validates the basic Spring Boot application context initialization and configuration for the spring-boot-mail module. It ensures the core application components load correctly and the Spring context starts successfully.

Test Coverage Overview

The test coverage focuses on verifying the Spring Boot application context initialization.

Key areas tested include:

Application context loading
Spring configuration validation
Basic runtime environment setup

The test ensures the fundamental Spring Boot infrastructure is properly configured before more specific mail functionality testing.

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach uses Spring Boot’s test framework integration with JUnit 4. The implementation leverages @SpringBootTest annotation for full application context loading and @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) to enable Spring test features.

Key implementation patterns include:

Spring Test Context framework integration
Automated context loading verification
JUnit test runner configuration

Technical Details

Testing tools and configuration:

JUnit 4 test framework
SpringRunner test executor
SpringBootTest context configuration
System.out verification

The test setup demonstrates standard Spring Boot test configuration with minimal dependencies.

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test implementation showcases several Spring Boot testing best practices:

Proper test class annotation configuration
Clean separation of test responsibilities
Standard Spring Boot test configuration patterns
Basic context loading validation

The code organization follows Spring Boot conventions for test structure and naming.
