Run before PRs, after major changes, and pre-deploy. Before opening a pull request for a Spring Boot service After major refactoring or dependency upgrades Pre-deployment verification for staging or production Running full build → lint → test → security scan pipeline Validating test coverage meets thresholds If build fails, stop and fix. Maven (common plugins): Gradle (if configured): Report: Total tests, passed/failed Coverage % (lines/branches) Test service logic in isolation with mocked dependencies: Test against a real database instead of H2: Test controller layer with full Spring context: Checklist: No debugging logs left (System.out, log.debug without guards) Meaningful errors and HTTP statuses Transactions and validation present where needed Config changes documented Re-run phases on significant changes or every 30–60 minutes in long sessions Keep a short loop: mvn -T 4 test + spotbugs for quick feedback Remember: Fast feedback beats late surprises. Keep the gate strict—treat warnings as defects in production systems.
