Get the Most out of Testing with Spring 4.2
summary
Spring Framework 4.2 adds concrete testing features: explicit composed-annotation aliasing (can override value attributes), embedded DBs can use generateUniqueName to avoid collisions, MockMvc gains MockMvc web client Builder for HTMLUnit and Selenium page tests, and JUnit gets SpringClassRule / SpringMethodRule to combine runners. Also: AOP test utils expose underlying targets, @Commit/@Rollback and inline @Sql statements, Spring Boot test loaders and @WebIntegrationTest, and demos show trimming auto-config cuts startup from ~6.2s to ~3s.
