Annotation Type SpringBootTest

@Target(value=TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @Inherited
 @BootstrapWith(value=SpringBootTestContextBootstrapper.class)
public @interface SpringBootTest

Annotation that can be specified on a test class that runs Spring Boot based tests. Provides the following features over and above the regular Spring TestContext Framework:

• Uses SpringBootContextLoader as the default ContextLoader when no specific @ContextConfiguration(loader=...) is defined.
• Automatically searches for a @SpringBootConfiguration when nested @Configuration is not used, and no explicit classes are specified.
• Allows custom Environment properties to be defined using the properties attribute.
• Provides support for different webEnvironment modes, including the ability to start a fully running container listening on a defined or random port.
• Registers a TestRestTemplate bean for use in web tests that are using a fully running container.
