Overview of this book

Angular makes building applications with the web easy and Spring Boot helps get an application up and running using just a few lines of code and minimal configuration. This book provides insights into building full-stack apps using Angular and Spring Boot effectively to reduce overall development time and increase efficiency. You'll start by setting up your CI/CD pipeline and then build your web application’s backend guided by best practices. You'll then see how Spring Boot allows you to build applications faster and more efficiently by letting the Spring Framework and Spring Boot extension do the heavy lifting. The book demonstrates how to use Spring Data JPA and add its dependencies along with Postgres dependencies in the project to save or persist a user's data in a database for future use. As you advance, you'll see how to write tests and test a service using Mockito. Finally, you'll create a CI workflow or pipeline for a Spring Boot and Angular application to enable operations to deliver quality applications faster. By the end of this Spring Boot and Angular book, you'll be able to build a full-stack web application and deploy it through continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Writing Tests in Spring Boot

In the previous chapter, you have learned about the importance of loggers, their concepts, and how they can help developers debug and maintain applications. You have learned about Log4j2, which is a third-party framework for Spring Boot that offers several features such as Appenders, Filters, and Markers that can assist in making log events categorized and formatted for developers. We have also discussed SLF4J, which is an abstraction of logging frameworks that allows us to switch between different frameworks during runtime or at deployment, and lastly, we have implemented and configured the logging frameworks with XML configuration and Lombok.

This chapter will now focus on writing unit tests for our Spring Boot application; we will discuss the most commonly used testing frameworks with Java, JUnit, and AssertJ and implement them in our application. We will also be integrating Mockito with our unit test for mocking objects and services.
