3,738 PointsTDD with Spring MVC
I know how we do TDD with plain java code using JUNIT, however it would be good to know while doing the Spring MVC videos/courses as to how should we approach TDD when working with frameworks such as Spring? Should we consider controller as unit and write cases for each URL mapping? Please advise. I guess for the model part if it is a POJO or reading from file or DB, we can write tests or stubs for them before we code them up as part of TDD, however not sure about the controller and view part. I guess we can also inspect the modelmap to see if controller did its job and call the controller in the way we normally write JUNIT tests. But I was wondering if there is any framework or sophisticated way of doing the same with Spring MVC?
