Repository Testing

Using Testcontainers

@SpringBootTest
class ProductRepositoryTest {

    @Container
    static PostgreSQLContainer<?> postgres = new PostgreSQLContainer<>("postgres:15")
        .withDatabaseName("testdb");

    @DynamicPropertySource
    static void configure(DynamicPropertyRegistry registry) {
        registry.add("spring.datasource.url", postgres::getJdbcUrl);
        registry.add("spring.datasource.username", postgres::getUsername);
        registry.add("spring.datasource.password", postgres::getPassword);
    }

    @Autowired
    private ProductRepository repository;

    @Test
    void shouldFindByCategory() {
        repository.save(new Product("Laptop", "electronics"));
        List<Product> result = repository.findByCategory("electronics");
        assertThat(result).hasSize(1);
    }
}

 /      Unit        \
/--------------------

Test Types

Unit: Individual components
Integration: Component interactions
E2E: Full user workflows
Performance: Load/stress testing

Best Practices

Write tests first (TDD)
Aim for 80% coverage
Test edge cases
Keep tests fast and isolated

Key Points

Understanding Repository Testing is essential for production systems
Always consider scalability and maintainability
Test thoroughly before deploying to production
Monitor performance and set up alerting

Common Patterns

Validation: Always validate input at the boundary
Error Handling: Use structured error responses
Logging: Log key events for debugging
Testing: Unit, integration, and load tests
Documentation: Keep docs updated with code changes

Practice Problems

0/3solved

intermediateImplement Repository Testing

Design and implement a solution for Repository Testing in a backend system. Consider scalability, error handling, and production readiness.

Solution

// Repository Testing implementation
// Key aspects: validation, error handling, logging, testing

public class RepositoryTesting {
    // Production-ready implementation
}

intermediateRepository Testing Edge Cases

Identify and handle edge cases for Repository Testing. What happens under high load, with invalid input, or during failures?

Solution

// Edge case handling:
// 1. Null/empty input -> validation
// 2. High load -> rate limiting, queuing
// 3. Failures -> retries, circuit breaker
// 4. Concurrent access -> locks, idempotency

beginnerRepository Testing Testing Strategy

Write a testing strategy for Repository Testing. Include unit tests, integration tests, and performance tests.

Solution

// Test plan:
// - Unit: 80% coverage target
// - Integration: API contracts
// - Performance: latency, throughput
// - Chaos: failure injection
