Explore how to test the HypermediaItemController using Spring REST Docs. Understand the process of verifying hypermedia links, capturing HTTP responses, and generating documentation snippets. This lesson helps you enhance API testing and documentation for hypermedia-driven Spring Boot applications.

We'll cover the following...

Once again, the setup for a documentation test case is identical. The only difference is that we point it at the HypermediaItemController. The bottom line is that capturing HTTP ...
