Explanation

JUnit is used for unit testing while MockMvc tests REST endpoints without starting the server.

Code:

@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
class StudentControllerTest{}

Explanation

Inject MockMvc into the test class.

Code:

@Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;

Explanation

Test GET endpoints using MockMvc.

Code:

mockMvc.perform(get("/students"))
.andExpect(status().isOk());

Explanation

Verify JSON response values.

Code:

mockMvc.perform(get("/students/1"))
.andExpect(jsonPath("$.name").value("John"));

Test POST APIs by sending JSON requests.

Code:

mockMvc.perform(post("/students")
.contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
