Java Testing Advanced Skill
Advanced testing techniques for comprehensive test coverage.
Overview
This skill covers advanced testing patterns including Testcontainers for integration testing, contract testing with Pact, mutation testing with PIT, and property-based testing.
When to Use This Skill
Use when you need to:
- Test with real databases (Testcontainers)
- Verify API contracts
- Find gaps with mutation testing
- Generate test cases automatically
Quick Reference
Testcontainers
@Testcontainers
@SpringBootTest
class OrderRepositoryIT {
@Container
static PostgreSQLContainer<?> postgres =
new PostgreSQLContainer<>("postgres:15")
.withDatabaseName("test")
.withUsername("test")
.withPassword("test");
@Container
static KafkaContainer kafka =
new KafkaContainer(DockerImageName.parse("confluentinc/cp-kafka:7.4.0"));
@DynamicPropertySource
static void configure(DynamicPropertyRegistry registry) {
registry.add("spring.datasource.url", postgres::getJdbcUrl);
registry.add("spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers", kafka::getBootstrapServers);
}
@Test
void shouldPersistOrder() {
Order saved = repository.save(new Order("item", 100.0));
assertThat(saved.getId()).isNotNull();
}
}
Contract Testing (Pact)
@ExtendWith(PactConsumerTestExt.class)
class UserServiceContractTest {
@Pact(consumer = "order-service", provider = "user-service")
public RequestResponsePact createPact(PactDslWithProvider builder) {
return builder
.given("user exists")
.uponReceiving("get user request")
.path("/users/1")
.method("GET")
.willRespondWith()
.status(200)
.body(new PactDslJsonBody()
.integerType("id", 1)
.stringType("name", "John"))
.toPact();
}
@Test
@PactTestFor(pactMethod = "createPact")
void testGetUser(MockServer mockServer) {
User user = client.getUser(mockServer.getUrl(), 1L);
assertThat(user.getName()).isEqualTo("John");
}
}
Mutation Testing (PIT)
<plugin>
<groupId>org.pitest</groupId>
<artifactId>pitest-maven</artifactId>
<version>1.15.0</version>
<configuration>
<targetClasses>
<param>com.example.service.*</param>
</targetClasses>
<mutationThreshold>80</mutationThreshold>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Property-Based Testing
@Property
void shouldReverseListTwiceReturnsOriginal(@ForAll List<Integer> list) {
Collections.reverse(list);
Collections.reverse(list);
// Original order restored
}

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Container slow | Reuse containers |
| Port conflicts | Random ports |
| Flaky tests | Wait strategies |
