Package org.springframework.test.context

@NonNullApi @NonNullFields 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. 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.

TestContext	TestContext encapsulates the context in which a test is executed, agnostic of the actual testing framework in use.
TestContextAnnotationUtils	TestContextAnnotationUtils is a collection of utility methods that complements the standard support already available in AnnotationUtils and AnnotatedElementUtils, while transparently honoring @NestedTestConfiguration semantics.
