This is a fairly flexible, versatile framework for mocking Spring Data repositories. Spring Data provides a very good foundation for separating the concerns of managing a database and its subsequently resulting queries from those of the business layer. This is great for writing services. They only need to depend upon Spring Data repositories and manage their data through this level of indirection. This, however, means that for testing purposes, you will either have to write lots of boilerplate code for your Spring powered application, or you will have to start up a full blown application context with a backing database. For most test cases, this is entirely unnecessary and, moreover, creates time burdens and takes away valuable time from productive tasks. This is why I decided to write this framework: to avoid the unnecessary effort, and to have a reliable infrastructure replicating what Spring would do with an actual database, only in-memory. This will allow for mocking the repository with actual data. Thus, you can test your services without having to start up the application context, and with the highest level of isolation -- with actual data.
