Spring Web Services

Exercise: Todo REST Service Testing

The objective of this exercise is to implement different tests for the RESTful todo web service.

Assignment

1. Add the Spring starter spring-boot-starter-test and the REST-assured library io.rest-assured:rest-assured to the Maven project
2. Add an SQL file data.sql that inserts some test data into the H2 database and set the application property spring.jpa.defer-datasource-initialization to true
3. Implement integration tests of the todo web service using
   • a mock environment and the MockMvc (see also MockMvcRequestBuilders and MockMvcResultMatchers)
   • a running server and the RestClient (see also AssertJ Assertions)
   • a running server and the REST Assured library (see also Hamcrest Matchers)
4. Configure the Maven Failsafe plugin to run the integration tests
