# Java Integration Testing Guidelines

Apply Java integration testing guidelines.

**What is covered in this Skill?**

- Integration test scope and purpose
- Testcontainers for dependencies
- TestRestTemplate for API testing
- Data management strategies
- Test structure and assertions
- Performance and cleanup

**Scope:** Apply recommendations based on the reference rules and good/bad code examples.

## Constraints

Before applying any integration test changes, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately. After applying improvements, run full verification.

- **MANDATORY**: Run `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` before applying any change
- **SAFETY**: If compilation fails, stop immediately
- **VERIFY**: Run `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify` after applying improvements
- **BEFORE APPLYING**: Read the reference for detailed rules and good/bad patterns
