Validating Spring Boot Context Loading with Thymeleaf in spring-boot-examples

This test suite validates the core Spring Boot application context initialization with Thymeleaf template engine integration. It ensures proper bootstrapping of the Spring application context and verifies that all required beans and configurations are loaded correctly.

Test Coverage Overview

The test coverage focuses on validating the Spring Boot application context initialization and Thymeleaf configuration loading.

Verifies successful application context loading
Tests Spring Boot auto-configuration
Validates Thymeleaf template engine integration
Ensures proper component scanning

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach utilizes Spring Boot’s test framework with JUnit integration. The implementation leverages @SpringBootTest annotation for full application context testing, while @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) enables Spring TestContext Framework support.

The test employs Spring’s context caching to optimize test execution performance.

Technical Details

JUnit 4 testing framework
Spring Test Context Framework
SpringRunner test executor
Spring Boot Test auto-configuration
Context configuration validation

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test class demonstrates clean testing practices by focusing on essential application bootstrapping verification.

Proper test class naming convention
Minimal test setup complexity
Effective use of Spring Boot test annotations
Clear separation of concerns
