SprintBoot Test

 When you test controller for a SpringBoot application, you might don't want to run a whole application, you just what to test the controller itself. So this give you possibility to do this.

@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = {MockServletContext.class})       
@WebAppConfiguration
@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
public class TestClass {

private static MockMvc mvc;

    @Mock
    private YourService yourService;   // the service that Controller rely on

    @InjectMocks
    private  YourController yourController; // the class you want to test


    @BeforeEach
    public  void beforeEach() {
        mvc = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(yourController).build();
        /*
        the build controller alone, which means that you get rid of all filters             
        or intercepters that are used to build a complete application running. 
        Because you only want to test controller itself
        */
    }

}

note: MockServletContext.class   is the key point of not running whole application.

If you are using you application.class in @SpringBootTest(classes = {Application.class}) , then the whole application will run.
