The Spring MVC Test framework, also known as MockMvc, provides support for testing Spring
|
|
|
|
|
MVC applications. It performs full Spring MVC request handling but via mock request and
|
|
|
|
|
response objects instead of a running server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MockMvc can be used on its own to perform requests and verify responses. It can also be

used through the xref:testing/webtestclient.adoc[WebTestClient] where MockMvc is plugged in as the server to handle

requests with. The advantage of `WebTestClient` is the option to work with higher level
|
|
|
|
|
objects instead of raw data as well as the ability to switch to full, end-to-end HTTP
|
|
|
|
|
tests against a live server and use the same test API.
