MockMvc Test

@WebMvcTest(ProductController.class)
class ProductControllerTest {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @MockBean
    private ProductService productService;

    @Test
    void shouldReturnProduct() throws Exception {
        when(productService.getById(1L))
            .thenReturn(new Product(1L, "Laptop"));

        mockMvc.perform(get("/api/products/1"))
            .andExpect(status().isOk())
            .andExpect(jsonPath("$.name").value("Laptop"));
    }
}

 /      Unit        \
/--------------------

Test Types

Unit: Individual components
Integration: Component interactions
E2E: Full user workflows
Performance: Load/stress testing

Best Practices

Write tests first (TDD)
Aim for 80% coverage
Test edge cases
Keep tests fast and isolated

Key Points

Understanding Controller Testing is essential for production systems
Always consider scalability and maintainability
Test thoroughly before deploying to production
Monitor performance and set up alerting

Common Patterns

Validation: Always validate input at the boundary
Error Handling: Use structured error responses
Logging: Log key events for debugging
Testing: Unit, integration, and load tests
Documentation: Keep docs updated with code changes

intermediate Controller Testing Edge Cases

Identify and handle edge cases for Controller Testing. What happens under high load, with invalid input, or during failures?

Solution

// Edge case handling:
// 1. Null/empty input -> validation
// 2. High load -> rate limiting, queuing
// 3. Failures -> retries, circuit breaker
// 4. Concurrent access -> locks, idempotency

beginner Controller Testing Testing Strategy

Write a testing strategy for Controller Testing. Include unit tests, integration tests, and performance tests.

Solution

// Test plan:
// - Unit: 80% coverage target
// - Integration: API contracts
// - Performance: latency, throughput
// - Chaos: failure injection
