Package org.springframework.test.context

This package contains the Spring TestContext Framework which provides annotation-driven unit and integration testing support that is agnostic of the actual testing framework in use.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ActiveProfilesResolver	Strategy interface for programmatically resolving which active bean definition profiles should be used when loading an ApplicationContext for a test class.
BootstrapContext	BootstrapContext encapsulates the context in which the Spring TestContext Framework is bootstrapped.
CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate	A CacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate is responsible for loading and closing application contexts, interacting transparently with a ContextCache behind the scenes.
ContextCustomizer	Strategy interface for customizing application contexts that are created and managed by the Spring TestContext Framework.
ContextCustomizerFactory	Factory for creating ContextCustomizers.
ContextLoader	Strategy interface for loading an application context for an integration test managed by the Spring TestContext Framework.
DynamicPropertyRegistry	Registry used with @DynamicPropertySource methods so that they can add properties to the Environment that have dynamically resolved values.
SmartContextLoader	Strategy interface for loading an application context for an integration test managed by the Spring TestContext Framework.
TestContext	TestContext encapsulates the context in which a test is executed, agnostic of the actual testing framework in use.
TestContextBootstrapper	TestContextBootstrapper defines the SPI for bootstrapping the Spring TestContext Framework.
TestExecutionListener	TestExecutionListener defines a listener API for reacting to test execution events published by the TestContextManager with which the listener is registered.

Class Summary

Class	Description
ContextConfigurationAttributes	ContextConfigurationAttributes encapsulates the context configuration attributes declared via @ContextConfiguration.
MergedContextConfiguration	MergedContextConfiguration encapsulates the merged context configuration declared on a test class and all of its superclasses via @ContextConfiguration, @ActiveProfiles, and @TestPropertySource.
TestContextAnnotationUtils	TestContextAnnotationUtils is a collection of utility methods that complements the standard support already available in AnnotationUtils and AnnotatedElementUtils, while transparently honoring @NestedTestConfiguration semantics.
TestContextAnnotationUtils.AnnotationDescriptor<T extends Annotation>	Descriptor for an Annotation, including the class on which the annotation is declared as well as the merged annotation instance.
TestContextAnnotationUtils.UntypedAnnotationDescriptor	Untyped extension of TestContextAnnotationUtils.AnnotationDescriptor that is used to describe the declaration of one of several candidate annotation types where the actual annotation type cannot be predetermined.
TestContextManager	TestContextManager is the main entry point into the Spring TestContext Framework.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
NestedTestConfiguration.EnclosingConfiguration	Enumeration of modes that dictate how test configuration from enclosing classes is processed for inner test classes.
TestConstructor.AutowireMode	Defines autowiring modes for parameters in a test constructor.
TestExecutionListeners.MergeMode	Enumeration of modes that dictate whether or not explicitly declared listeners are merged with the default listeners when @TestExecutionListeners is declared on a class that does not inherit listeners from a superclass.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
ActiveProfiles	ActiveProfiles is a class-level annotation that is used to declare which active bean definition profiles should be used when loading an ApplicationContext for test classes.
BootstrapWith	@BootstrapWith defines class-level metadata that is used to determine how to bootstrap the Spring TestContext Framework.
ContextConfiguration	@ContextConfiguration defines class-level metadata that is used to determine how to load and configure an ApplicationContext for integration tests.
ContextHierarchy	@ContextHierarchy is a class-level annotation that is used to define a hierarchy of ApplicationContexts for integration tests.
DynamicPropertySource	Method-level annotation for integration tests that need to add properties with dynamic values to the Environment's set of PropertySources.
NestedTestConfiguration	@NestedTestConfiguration is a type-level annotation that is used to configure how Spring test configuration annotations are processed within enclosing class hierarchies (i.e., for inner test classes).
TestConstructor	@TestConstructor is a type-level annotation that is used to configure how the parameters of a test class constructor are autowired from components in the test's ApplicationContext.
TestExecutionListeners	TestExecutionListeners defines class-level metadata for configuring which TestExecutionListeners should be registered with a TestContextManager.
TestPropertySource	@TestPropertySource is a class-level annotation that is used to configure the TestPropertySource.locations() of properties files and inlined TestPropertySource.properties() to be added to the Environment's set of PropertySources for an ApplicationContext for integration tests.
TestPropertySources	@TestPropertySources is a container for one or more @TestPropertySource declarations.

Package org.springframework.test.context Description

This package contains the Spring TestContext Framework which provides annotation-driven unit and integration testing support that is agnostic of the actual testing framework in use. The same techniques and annotation-based configuration used in, for example, a JUnit environment can also be applied to tests written with TestNG, etc.

In addition to providing generic and extensible testing infrastructure, the Spring TestContext Framework provides out-of-the-box support for Spring-specific integration testing functionality such as context management and caching, dependency injection of test fixtures, and transactional test management with default rollback semantics.
