Verifying Database Queries with DataJpaTest Slice

The @DataJpaTest annotation configures an in-memory database and scans only @Entity and Spring Data JPA repository beans. This provides fast, focused integration testing for the data persistence layer without loading the entire application context.

@DataJpaTest
class UserRepositoryTest {
 
    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;
 
    @Test
    void shouldFindUserByEmail() {
        User user = new User("[email protected]");
        userRepository.save(user);
 
        Optional<User> found = userRepository.findByEmail("[email protected]");
        assertTrue(found.isPresent());
