## What it is
A Spring Boot sample application demonstrating test automation across all levels of the test pyramid, from unit tests to end-to-end tests. It accompanies the 'Practical Test Pyramid' article on martinfowler.com and serves as a hands-on learning resource for testing Spring applications.

## Use cases
- learn how to test a spring boot application
- see examples of unit, integration, and e2e tests
- understand the test pyramid in practice
- learn tdd and test automation patterns for java
- find examples of contract testing and mocking in spring
- study how to structure a reliable test suite for microservices

## When to choose
- you want practical, runnable examples of Spring Boot testing at every pyramid level
- you're learning test automation concepts alongside the Practical Test Pyramid article
- you need reference patterns for unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end tests in Java

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready testing library or framework to add as a dependency
- you're not working in the Java/Spring ecosystem
- you need a maintained, licensed project for production use - it has no license and is a teaching example

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: testing, e2e-testing, mocking
- domain: testing, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: jvm
- tags: spring-boot, test-pyramid, tdd, example-code, sample-application, docker
